Track Record | Arowana - Kevin Chin

The Arowana investment philosophy is underpinned by a belief that strong investment returns can be generated whilst maintaining a commitment to sustainability. Furthermore, we consider that entrepreneurial resilience and a long- term investment horizon are the keys to sustained investment outperformance.

From our first project to our most current undertaking, we have not only delivered very strong returns but more importantly, have created jobs and value without realising any investment losses across our various operating companies and investment funds. We believe that our results to date are due to Arowana’s genuinely entrepreneurial culture and never-say-die resilience.

Our investment process is time-tested, data-driven, and forensic. We have demonstrated that this process is not influenced by populist thinking, and we are comfortable being contrarian where appropriate. What is uncommon about Arowana is that where others would have given up on an investment, we have persisted and eventually delivered highly profitable returns. This is because our team is comprised of seasoned entrepreneurs and operators who have experienced what it takes to overcome the myriad challenges involved in starting, fixing, building, scaling up, and successfully selling businesses.

The Arowana team has started, bought, fixed, scaled up, and exited businesses in sectors as diverse as enterprise software, road infrastructure services, education, power and electrical services, industrial testing, solar energy, electric vehicles, asset management, and venture capital. In the process, we have helped to create thousands of jobs and considerable economic value. As with any entrepreneurial journey, it has never been straightforward and never linear. We have encountered and had to overcome numerous challenges with every company we have been involved with, including some situations where both external and internal stakeholders considered it be a lost cause.

Today, our investment philosophy and process are guided by our commitment to the triple bottom line of People, Profit, and Planet. This is absolute and impacts every decision we make, including the sectors we invest in, the companies we work with, and the people we hire.
