The founding concept of Symphony is to combine the best elements of private equity investment with the advantages of an investment company. The result is a hybrid alternative asset investment vehicle with the following features and advantages.

Symphony’s shares are listed on the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange. As a result, investors in Symphony will be able to liquidate, or add to, their holdings at any time.

Since Symphony is an “evergreen” vehicle, it is not constrained by limited time frames and is able to exercise significant flexibility in the timing of investments and divestments.

Symphony's structure allows more deal-making flexibility through prudent use of leverage and stock to make acquisitions.

Symphony enjoys the advantage of being able to position itself as a long-term strategic partner/investor when faced with competitive situations in new acquisitions.

With growing interest in the Asia Pacific region amongst international investors, Symphony's management team has concluded that the best way to generate superior returns is to focus only on sectors where they have expertise and access to a network of business leaders. As such, they are able to generate focused deal-flow and rely less on auctions.
