We are first and foremost investors in our own strategies. We suggest no investment to our co-investors or partners unless the Grand Lion Group and/or its shareholders' capital is also committed. That fact alone is the best measure of our confidence to source, finance, develop and manage businesses profitably.
We make investment decisions only after methodical assessment. We invest in a variety of asset classes to build a portfolio that we believe balances long and short term risks and returns.
