Investments

Active Equities

• WVL seeks to add value to its investments in areas of its expertise or through an active strategic involvement in the functions of a company
• In addition to all aspects of the energy, water and waste businesses, WVL can add value through finance, operations, M&A or strategy as part of our core functions or external network
• A high engagement level from our staff requires us to be selective in our investees
• Given the long term nature of our capital and operator experience, we can assume risks atypical of most private equity funds

Disruptive Technologies

• Industry changing technology that is revolutionary and not just evolutionary
• Competitive technology should be difficult to replicate with a proven pilot of customer sponsorship in place
• Funding is typically for commercialization in an “A” round
• Not specific sector but requires hyper growth and customer acceptance

Merchant Banking

• Special situations that can generate income or immediate payback for capital at risk
• Risk is highly structured
• Credit/risk arbitrage or bridge financing
• Short term exposures
• Unique risks outside of typical lending parameters
