Long term, Value Oriented
Legatum Capital is a private, value-oriented portfolio investor that manages a multi-billion dollar fund investing proprietary capital in outstanding businesses with durable competitive advantages. Managing only proprietary capital creates an independence that has shaped a successful investment strategy in the global capital markets over the past twenty years.
Based in Dubai, strategically located mid-way between Asia and Europe, Legatum can cover the world's largest capital markets over a single business day. Experience has shown that insight into investment opportunities is clearer from a distance, removed from the background noise and clutter of larger financial centres.
Legatum Capital was founded in December 2006 following the demerger of Sovereign Global Investment which, from 1986 to 2006, provided capital to companies and governments from Asia and Africa to Latin America and Eastern Europe, and industries ranging from banking and energy to telecoms, power and steel.
A Portfolio Investor
Legatum Capital is neither a mutual fund, a hedge fund nor a private equity fund, all of which can face the challenges of quarterly benchmarking or the risks of leverage and redemptions. Due to its proprietary nature, Legatum Capital has the freedom to take a long-term view and focus solely on identifying the best investment opportunities around the world and allocating capital to build strong companies with world-scale potential.
A Commitment to Creating Widespread Prosperity
Legatum, through the work of the Legatum Institute, Legatum Center, Legatum Ventures and the Legatum Foundation, seeks to use its human, financial and intellectual capital to make a positive impact and leave a meaningful legacy in the world in which we live and operate.
