Viliza Capital undertakes a broad range of strategies in diverse markets across alternative investments. We focus on segments where our expertise is rewarded and avoid those segments where we believe the competition for alpha is high, the supply of capital is abundant, and the potential to execute our strategy is low. This philosophy frames our approach to investment, partnership, and trading decisions, and it has been a hallmark of our success.
Our team has decades of top management experience across private equity, investment banking, trading, venture capital, and corporate law. Our management has successfully placed several hundreds of millions of United States dollars into companies worldwide during their careers, and they have additionally participated in successful transactions comprising several billions of United States dollars to date.
Viliza Capital recognizes that environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues can have a significant impact on investment and trading, creating value that often transcends business. ESG issues thus are integral to our strategic approach for both our own operations and those of our portfolio companies. We have long held the view that environmental sustainability and social responsibility significantly de-risk businesses and, therefore, lead to greater cost efficiencies and profitability. Our ethos is to develop companies and execute trades and investments, in a manner that generates not only monetary returns but also qualitatively better societal outcomes.
