Investment thesis
Cara manages a diversified global portfolio spanning traditional asset classes (public equities, fixed income) and alternatives (private equity, hedge funds, real estate). Its philosophy emphasizes disciplined, opportunistic investing, alignment with partners, and bottom-up manager selection to deliver strong risk-adjusted, real-term capital appreciation. Liquid strategies include global macro, multi-strategy, long-short equity, credit (Cat Bonds, AT1s), and ETFs beating the MSCI World. In private markets, Cara backs middle-market buyout funds and co-investments in the US and Europe, plus growth equity and a venture sleeve. Real estate targets prime gateway markets in Europe and the US, with long-term holds, value-add opportunities, joint ventures, and mezzanine financing, all guided by ESG principles.
