Hands-on Investment
Since its establishment, EKH has completed some of the most complex transactions in the region. The Company generally acquires majority stakes and takes management control in most of its investments.
Highly qualified investment officers source transactions and identify opportunities within EKH’s various lines of business sectors. Transactions are then submitted to a dedicated investment committee for approval. Adhering to this stringent mode of operation with each and every deal guarantees a high success rate with all transactions and ultimately creates more shareholder value.
A fundamental factor that has contributed to the Company’s success is the long-standing conviction that the closing of an acquisition is only the beginning of the process of creating value. EKH identifies, pursues and finalizes key acquisitions in a timely manner that takes into account both the long and short-term potential for business development in a given industry or business.
