Alongside its trading book, NorthPoint deploys its own capital on a principal basis, taking positions where the firm’s market work and counterparty relationships give it an informed view.
The approach is the same as on the trading side: commodity-agnostic, opportunity-driven, and sized to the risk.
NorthPoint invests as principal and does not manage money for third parties.
Principles
01
Long-term ownership
We hold for the long term and judge each investment on durable cash generation, not on the timing of an exit.
02
Informed conviction
We invest where our own market work and relationships give us a real understanding of the asset and its risks.
03
Active governance
We take a role in governance proportionate to our position, and work alongside management rather than around it.
04
Discipline in sizing
Each position is sized to its risk and to the capital at stake, and reviewed as conditions change.
05
Alignment
Our own capital is at risk in every decision we make.
What We Look For
Real assets, clear ownership, sound governance.
Established operations with tangible assets and a clear role in physical supply chains.
Clear ownership and transparent structures, with counterparties we can diligence fully.
Management teams we can work with over the long term.
A credible path to cash generation, under realistic assumptions.
