Investment thesis
Orion Resource Partners specializes in metals and materials, sectors it views as critical enablers of sustainable economic growth and the energy transition. Its investment approach is driven by long-term global trends: decarbonization (materials underpinning the energy transition), constrained supply (structural shortages from prolonged underinvestment and limited financing), and technological optimization of the sector's high-throughput industrial processes. Leveraging deep sector knowledge, global operations, and an extensive network, the firm offers both liquid and illiquid solutions across private and public investing for institutional partners, with a stated commitment to responsible investing.
