Family focus
Our strategy is to generate stronger returns through investing in the integrity of family-controlled companies.
Such companies are not driven by the whims of indifferent directors torn between responsibilities with other organisations.
Family companies adhere to principles proven over many decades. Passion. A laser focus. And iron will. Creating legacies that endure for generations takes courage, sound principles and hard, hard work.
Investing in this passion and profiting from its hard-won returns has lifted us from promising beginnings in the year 2000, into a dynamic, privately-owned investment company.
Our approach
Global Family Investment's approach is to be a long-term investor in listed, family-controlled businesses.
We have strict investment criteria to ensure we only invest in the highest quality of business.
