Clear authority
Every company in the portfolio has a documented owner, a documented operator and a documented way decisions are made.
- Defined decision rights
- Written delegations
- No ambiguity about who signs
Governance
Discipline we apply to ourselves first.
The standards, cadence and controls behind every decision we make about what we hold.
Overview
Governance is how a holding company keeps its promises when no one is watching. We hold ourselves to the same standards we would expect of any company we own.
That means clear authority, current records, independent professional advice and open handling of conflicts, reviewed on a regular cycle.
Standards
Four standards we will not compromise.
Records kept current
Entity records, ownership registers and governance calendars are maintained continuously, not assembled under pressure.
- Entity and ownership registers
- Annual requirements calendared
- Periodic structure reviews
Independent advice
Legal, tax and accounting matters are handled by qualified professionals engaged for that purpose.
- Qualified counsel engaged
- Separate accounting oversight
- Advice documented with decisions
Conflicts disclosed
Where interests could diverge, they are surfaced and handled openly before decisions are made.
- Disclosure before decision
- Recusal where appropriate
- Records of how conflicts were resolved
Cadence
A steady rhythm, not a scramble.
- Phase 01
Quarterly
Portfolio review: performance, risk and the health of each structure.
- Phase 02
Annually
Entity requirements, registers and governance documents brought current.
- Phase 03
As needed
Structure reviews when a company is added, changed or prepared for succession.
