FSN Capital Partners' Ethos

 We are decent people making a decent return in a decent way.

  • By decent people we mean that we are trustworthy individuals that behave with integrity.
  • Making a decent return means generating alpha return i.e. risk adjusted return witch is significantly higher than what our investors can achieve by investing in public market index funds.
  • Generating this return in a decent way means that we operate according to the Internal Ethical Guidelines we have developed, that we implement similar ethical guidelines in our portfolio companies and that we adhere to the UN Global Compact, UN Convention Against Corruption and the OECD Guidelines for Corporate Governance for Multinational Enterprises.

We believe there is plenty of money at the centre of the court. We see no need to play around the edges.
