The Shareholders
The shareholders in Fusion Investments are all experienced business people who share the vision of the company's founders. For many of them, their wealth has arisen partly from the use of private equity, either as practitioners within the industry, or as leaders of MBOs or other forms of venture companies themselves. The typical Fusion Investments shareholder is an Ultra High Net Worth individual, who wants a portion of his or her wealth deployed in the long term business of growing durable and profitable enterprises in developing countries.
Between them, Fusion Investments shareholders represent:
- 500 years of entrepreneurial business activity
- 7 successful Management Buy-Outs
- 6 Start-ups which went on to become significant companies
- 8 Growth Capital experiences
- And many corporate careers at the highest level
These experiences have given the shareholders first-hand experience of what it is like to found, grow and manage the transitions of private companies – the excitement and rewards, and also the problems and setbacks.
The majority of Fusion Investments shareholders prefer to retain their privacy. We have been lucky enough to prevail on one of them to give us an interview: A Fusion Shareholder: Richard Robinson's story
