Highams Saaz was established for two main reasons:

​

• To work with well managed and professional management teams to deliver good quality projects with robust investment and characteristics

• To align good quality, low-risk investment capital to the needs of the investee to mitigate financial risk and optimise growth and returns.

​

Highams Saaz operates a risk-controlled process focusing on planning, detection, prevention and execution. Positive risks can be just as damaging as a negative risk if a business is not prepared.

​

All potential investees undergo a rigorous internal due diligence process, which is then subjected to independent external scrutiny by a recognised professional services company or an appropriate professionally qualified entity. This detailed and extensive process ensures that risks are identified and understood for any proposed investment.

​

Highams Saaz remains proactively involved in project delivery, for the duration of the project, and oversees the realisation of pre-defined performance benchmarks and milestones.

​

Performance benchmarks are reflected in the NAV, which increases due to the function of investment and achievement. Issues are identified and resolved/mitigated through control execution, thus protecting the underlying asset and the invested capital.

​

The Highams Saaz investment structure ensures a very flexible but highly transparent, regulated and controlled investment process, thereby providing the maximum opportunity for any investment to flourish and maximise its growth.

​

We ensure that all investment funds are:

​

• Controlled through regulated structures with independent oversight.

• Managed through a rigorous business planning and risk assessment process.

• Deployed in phases that are directly linked to strategic milestones that are pre-determined and have a positive impact on value, performance, stabilisation and exit.

• Are protected through majority ownership and control of the project/ business.

• Proactive management with an appropriately qualified director/s appointed to the board of the investee.

• Monthly reporting.

​​

As an investor, we are different from other funds management companies and are proactive with our investee companies. We don’t just sit behind our desk and evaluate a potential investment. We actually roll our sleeves up and get our hands dirty in the delivery of the project. We are right there on the coal face alongside the investee.
