Investment Philosophy
The 360 One High Growth Companies Fund Category III AIF fund seeks to invest in companies that have the potential to grow at a significantly faster rate than the economy over the next few years. These firms are expected to expand at least in the high teens and to have long-term competitive advantages – proprietary intellectual property, strong leadership, distribution/cost advantages, or entry barriers specific to the respective sector – that enable them to expand.
