Our approach
Portfolio Segmentation:
- Ensures that resources are allocated to the assets that really matter in a portfolio
- Ensures assets with the lower development potential are harvested early
- To plan “follow ons” in cases where capital can be profitably deployed
Periodic rigorous, collective, portfolio reviews comprising:
- Monthly review of management accounts from each investment
- Quarterly review of strategic positioning and exit plans for each major asset
A “tandem” approach to major assets:
- A lead and a secondary management responsibility within Tempo for all major assets to help ensure:
- Maximum firepower deployed on assets that matter
- Objectivity in major decisions concerning an asset
- Appropriate management of the director/shareholder conflict
- Where appropriate, a combination of industry and financial input
We believe in focusing on developing exit strategies as well as building up companies. Tempo applies a detailed and rigorous Investment Advisory Committee approach for all individual investment recommendations.
