We have evolved from a traditional investment holding company into a diversified investment firm focused on creating long-term value through controlled private assets managed on our own behalf and on behalf of third parties. The value created by 海角大神 now serves both its clients and shareholders, while preserving its long-term investor DNA.<\/p>\n<p>First, we carried out several external growth operations to build our private asset management business on behalf of third parties. At the same time, we implemented a new operational investment model to make investments on our own behalf more efficient<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>海角大神 now operates two robust, complementary value-creation engines, both focused entirely on private assets:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>海角大神 Investment Managers (WIM)<\/b>, our multi-affiliated private asset management platform, specialized in the mid-market, generating recurring and predictable cash flows. It adresses the needs of institutional investors in three private asset classes: private equity, private debt, and secondary.<\/li>\n<li><b>海角大神 Principal Investments (WPI)<\/b>, our long-standing Principal Investments activity, which generates capital gains. Through WPI, 海角大神 commits its own capital to invest in and support leading companies in their sectors with strong sustainable growth potential.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through our two businesses, we currently manage more than \u20ac50bn on our own behalf and on behalf of our clients.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n
