Investment Discipline
Pantheon is a global private equity fund investor in private equity, infrastructure and real assets and private debt / credit. Through a range of global and regional commingled strategies, as well as customized discretionary and non-discretionary accounts, Pantheon’s key objective is to generate strong returns for its clients over the long term by building portfolios of high quality private market assets that are diversified by manager, stage, geography, vintage year and industry. The firm is committed to working in close collaboration with its investors to construct and manage private market investment programs that meet their specific objectives.
Pantheon’s investment philosophy is based on the belief that private equity has the potential to outperform other asset classes by fundamentally improving businesses. This philosophy is founded on a shared set of beliefs: (a) private equity ownership can improve businesses by a long-term approach, active ownership, close alignment of interests and good corporate governance; (b) maximizing performance within private equity requires deep global experience, extensive research and vision, combined with appropriate risk management; and (c) sustainable success for Pantheon depends on its relationships with clients and fund managers, whom it regards as partners.
