David Frigstad, Chairman of Frost & Sullivan

The global economy will be shaped by disruptive innovation, a disintermediation of traditional industry players and a compression of the customer value chain. Never before have we seen so many incumbent players experiencing revenue declines. It is imperative for us to identify growth opportunities that will shape the future. The same applies to the investment space, and we’re excited to partner with Frost Capital and serve as a resource for investors.

Creating long-term value

While we offer investment opportunities through traditional time-limited equity funds, we prioritize permanent capital vehicles (evergreen funds) because we believe these provide the time and space needed to deploy long-term strategies that build better, lasting companies and value. This investment structure empowers portfolio companies to focus on long-term sustainability rather than the unrelenting pressure of fast growth and quick profits, which too often leads to unethical behaviors and bad business decisions. 

In an evergreen fund structure, profits flow back to the fund for additional investments; investors reap regular generous dividends and predictable cashflow; and portfolio companies can focus on building great businesses. 

Building ecosystems

We believe sustainable value creation depends on supporting entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems in the countries in which we invest. To that end, we work closely with a global network of incubators, accelerators, mentorship programs, and early stage funds to support high potential startups.

Prioritizing global platforms

Sustainable value creation in an interconnected world requires global reach. This is why we prioritize investing in platforms like fintech, which can provide services to customers across borders.

​

Our investments typically emphasize advanced technology, although this is not an explicit requirement. All of our portfolio companies, however, must be at least tech enabled, even if they are not technology platforms. We remain convinced that this is essential for competing in global markets.
