OUR PRINCIPLES
Apollo Capital Partners operates as an investment firm. Each company in our portfolio will be independently managed and financed. Each has its own board of directors, which includes Apollo Capital Partners representatives.
We are "involved", patient investors, not traders. The average time we plan to invest is above five years.
We take a long-term view of a company`s performance. We will never be concerned with quarterly results, but rather focus on cash flow and look at results over a number of years.
Management is our partner in creating value, our portfolio company managers should have a significant amount of their personal net worth invested in their companies because we believe strongly that the best managers think like - and are - owners.
We want our portfolio companies to invest for future competitiveness. We encourage them to take a long-term perspective; to maintain their business focus; to manage the balance sheet as well as the income statement; to make strategic acquisitions; to motivate a wide range of employees by giving them a stake in the business; and to build for the future through prudent capital investment, research and development spending, and new product marketing.
APPROACH TO VALUE
Apollo Capital Partners goal is to achieve high rates of return for the Apollo Funds by investing for long term appreciation.
Apollo Capital Partners core investment principles are and will be that the closing of an acquisition is only the beginning of the process of delivering value. This means that after the deal is done.
The Apollo team will be heavily involved in years of diligent work along with the management of its portfolio companies to realize the full potential of it`s acquisitions.
