INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Our investment philosophy is simple: Riga Capital acquires companies with strong growth potential and works with management to create shareholder value often through the development of export strategies and regional expansion. We only invest in situations where we can have a significant impact on strategy and together with our equity partners will seek control or significant influence. Successful acquisitions resulting in long-term value creation are the result of industry and operational knowledge.
