Anderton SICAV plc is an investment company that runs a top performing investment fund (Challenger Impact High Income Fund I - currently open for subscriptions) and a growth program focused on early stage global businesses, predominantly in Central Eastern European countries.
The sub-fund’s pure-play impact investment strategy is aimed at investors who seek a capital investment that will make a positive environmental, digital and social impact in addition to its economic objective of midterm high-yield returns – says Jasper de Trafford, director of Andeton SICAV plc.
Anderton, alongside Gamma Capital Markets, its investment manager and shareholder, employ a proactive, research-based approach to investing. Serving as a valuable resource across the portfolio, the Anderton Strategic Advisory Group (ASAG) consists of successful entrepreneurs and executives who support our investment process by identifying investable opportunities, assisting in the due diligence process, and supporting the growth of our portfolio companies’ post-investment. We engage our strategic advisors who have knowledge or expertise in specific sectors and are looking to become active managers, working closely with the investment committee to frame out an investment thesis and develop a list of target companies for research and outreach. Advisors typically stay involved in the management of such portfolio investments as officers of the company, board members, or in a consulting capacity.
-ASAG members support portfolio companies in a variety of ways – including but not limited to serving on a board of directors, sourcing executives to supplement management teams, providing strategic counsel, and arranging senior-level development or M&A introductions – says Roger Mitchell, strategic advisor to Anderton SICAV plc.
