A network of business founders is the key to unique deal sourcing and outperformance

Oakley Capital Investment’s Steven Tredget speaks to Proactive Investors about how working alongside an “entrepreneur network” of business founders and understanding what support they really need to develop is the key to deal sourcing and, ultimately, outperformance in listed private equity.

Oakley believes longstanding experience working in partnership with business founders creates greater empathy with the way a business is run and better understanding of its needs and in turn these relationships also uncover  new investment opportunities: “medium-sized businesses which are growing strongly and where the founder wants to stay in the business but also have someone alongside them.”
