At Cadira Capital Management, our mission is "Connecting the Investment Chain and Beyond".

Simply put, the "investment chain" is the connection between asset owners, asset managers and investee companies. It is not only the connection of capital through investment, but also the connection of people through dialogue. Together, this relationship is the driving force that revitalizes the economy and creates new value, which is the raison d'être of the investment chain.

Today, the investment chain may not be playing its full role in creating a sustainable world.

The investment chain, as the core of capitalism, has contributed to the rapid development of humankind. However, on the other side of this development, it has also produced side effects that have had a negative impact on the environment and society as a whole. Global warming and growing inequality threaten the stability of the world in the form of natural disasters and conflicts.

Building a sustainable society requires consideration of a wide range of stakeholders. To this end, we believe it is important to take a broad view of the investment chain and look beyond the companies in which we invest. If a company's activities have a positive impact on its stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers and the ecosystem, the company's business foundation will be stronger and the inputs to its activities will be enhanced. This will strengthen the company's ability to create value, and as a result, the entire investment chain will become richer. The role of the investment chain, as we see it, is to deliver the value created in this way to stakeholders beyond the asset owners, in other words, to each and every beneficiary.

We will therefore invest in companies with a long-term perspective and support them to strengthen their relationships with stakeholders through direct dialogue. We will also work with other capital market participants to raise awareness of sustainability in the marketplace.
