The Key Characteristics We Seek in Investment Partnerships at Seeker Capital
At Seeker Capital, we are committed to partnering with managers and investors that reflect our high standards of excellence and share our long-term vision. From a robust due diligence process and sophisticated risk management framework to a focus on operational excellence and alignment with our core values, every aspect of our evaluation is designed to ensure that we build an offering of only highest caliber, greatest potential and most trusted fund managers in the industry.
Comprehensive Due Diligence and Risk Management: Evaluating Opportunities with Precision
Every potential partnership at Seeker Capital begins with a thorough evaluation through our AI enabled Opportunity Assessment Matrix—a structured framework designed to assess all aspects of a fund’s performance, operations, and strategic alignment. This process involves several layers of scrutiny, ensuring that no detail is overlooked. This tool also helps us to filter the deals, allowing us to spend our time on the most high potential projects. We have evaluated more than 5,000 investment managers and opportunities, selecting fewer than 2% for sponsorship. To date, we’ve directed over $14 billion in capital to alternative investments.
Once a fund has been evaluated using this matrix, our findings are compiled into a detailed DD report, which is then presented to our Investment Committee (IC). The IC’s final approval is required before a fund can be selected for partnership, ensuring that only the best opportunities make it through our rigorous selection process.
Aligning with Seeker Capital’s Core Values
We believe that the funds we partner with should not only deliver strong financial returns but also align with our broader investment principles. These core values inform every investment decision we make:
1. Innovation and Strategic Differentiation
In a competitive investment landscape, innovation and differentiation are key drivers of success. We partner with funds that leverage unique strategies, proprietary research, and cutting-edge technology to create value and stay ahead of the curve. This ability to innovate and adapt is crucial for generating alpha and maintaining a competitive edge.
Funds that employ innovative approaches are often better equipped to exploit market inefficiencies and capitalize on emerging opportunities. This focus on innovation aligns with Seeker Capital’s objective to provide our investors with exposure to distinctive strategies that can generate superior returns.
2. Robust Risk Management Frameworks
Effective risk management is at the heart of our investment strategy. We partner with funds that have comprehensive and well-defined risk management frameworks. This includes a deep understanding of portfolio risk exposures, a proactive approach to identifying and mitigating potential threats, and a history of navigating complex market environments with discipline.
Funds that exhibit strong risk controls are better positioned to protect capital and sustain performance during periods of market stress. This emphasis on risk management aligns closely with our commitment to preserving investor capital and achieving steady, long-term returns.
3. Operational Excellence
Operational excellence is a cornerstone of any successful investment strategy. We evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of a fund’s internal operations, including its financial reporting, compliance infrastructure, and technological capabilities. A strong operational backbone supports reliable execution of the fund’s strategy and enhances its capacity to scale.
We seek funds that demonstrate meticulous attention to operational details, as this often translates into better performance and reduced risk of operational errors. Strong operational structures also provide the foundation for sound governance and accountability, both of which are critical to long-term success.
4. Long-Term Perspective
We look for managers who have a long-term view, focusing on sustainable growth rather than short-term gains. This means partnering with funds that have a well-articulated strategy for value creation over multiple market cycles. We favour managers who can demonstrate that their investment philosophy remains consistent regardless of market volatility and who are committed to building lasting relationships with investors.
Building a Legacy of Excellence
By adhering to these core values and leveraging our robust due diligence and risk management processes, we ensure that every partnership we form is built on a foundation of trust, transparency, and shared objectives. Our approach not only safeguards our investors’ capital but also fosters an environment where long-term value creation can thrive.
Seeker Capital is dedicated to building partnerships that stand the test of time—relationships with funds and managers that are not only best-in-class but also aligned with our vision of sustainable, responsible, and high-quality investing.
