Investment strategy
TFC Growth Equity focuses on direct private equity investments in its core areas of expertise utilising its substantial relationships.
- To ensure that long term demand is met, we believe the metals and mining sector requires focused investment capital from knowledgeable investors that understand the volatility of commodity cycles.
- Our investment strategy seeks to invest our capital across the various financing methods utilised in the development of sustainable projects and operations with exceptional growth potential, low cash costs of production (as compared to market averages), or the operating flexibility to insulate against volatility of the commodity markets.
- We target investment opportunities that provide exposure to selected commodities which, due to various factors, have attractive fundamentals and barriers to entry.
