Investment Policy
Updated 8th January 2025
The Group’s objective is to make investments in areas where the Board has expertise and experience, which will include investing in and incubating Technology Incubation Projects in addition to the Company’s traditional natural resources investments.
Initial investments will be for varying amounts initially, up to £250,000 per project dependent upon the resources and opportunities available to Tiger, under the new Investing Policy. Directors will have discretion to make investments outside this range. Investments will be focussed on, but not exclusively in, non-revenue generating early-stage companies which will not yet be generating revenue and often require additional funds to develop and expand their businesses. Therefore, after appropriate due diligence, the Company may provide further services to and/or make follow-on investments to support existing investments from time to time.
The Group has formulated a two-fold Investing Policy:
Participating in “passive style” equity investments where the Company does not play an active role in the operations or management of investee companies; and
Making more “proactive style” investments where the Company participates in incubating and structuring investee companies which will be an area of focus for the Technology Incubation Projects through its incubation and mentorship focussed engagement.
In the case of making non-equity type investments by providing capital and/or management support, these will be made in exchange for rights to a percentage of future revenues and/or carried equity positions aligning Tiger to the success of its investee companies. In such instances, fees would be charged in cash orin specie, dependent on the capital requirements of the investee company.
Both pro-active and passive investments can be equity type investments and/or in the form of a carried interest arrangement. The proactive style of investment articulated above may involve the Tiger’s officers taking executive roles in investee companies albeit generally through non-controlling stakes and generally being active in the management of the underlying investee company.
