The purpose of NEEM Partners is to make investments that generate superior long-term risk-adjusted returns that, when thoughtfully assembled into a portfolio, exhibit a lack of correlation to the broader market. We strive to achieve this result by uncovering investment opportunities that are either less followed by other investment professionals or structurally difficult to be consummated by the investment community at large. We tend to define risk in terms of permanent impairment of capital and spend considerable time reducing this risk through upfront due diligence, transaction negotiation and structuring and developing alignment of interest with operating partners with whom we can collaborate on future investments.
Among the different determinants of our success to date, none is as important as the right partners. We partner with only world-class firms and individuals with whom we enjoy working and who share our core values.
Our most valuable long-term asset is our reputation. We conduct our business with the highest level of integrity and honesty. Deals should be fair to our partners and should not favor us at their expense. We will be forthright with those we deal with and expect the same in return. We work with prospective partners to develop a mutual understanding, appreciation and respect for our approach to investing. If such an understanding cannot be achieved, we will not become partners. As a result, any actions we take with respect to our capital or business partners should be heavily influenced by their effect on our reputation.Â
Our performance on a quarterly or annual basis is not important. We only care about our long-term goals.
In order to best align our long term goals with those of our partners, in every investment we make, Prashant Gupta and his family have a very significant capital commitment alongside our partners.
