We invest our own capital, alongside fund investors, to support entrepreneurs, corporate management teams and real estate developers in achieving their growth ambitions. The funds that Cardinal advises and manages invest across a wide spectrum of business sectors including technology, food, healthcare, business & financial services and real estate. Our team has long standing experience of managing and investing in international as well as domestic companies across a wide range of sectors.
While we do not invest in products that specifically promote environmental, social or governance (“ESG”) characteristics or products that have sustainable investment as their main objective, ESG is considered as a matter of course by our investment managers in accordance with our ESG Policy and our remuneration policy is consistent with the integration of ESG risk.
