The Drake Endowment puts great focus and resources on its direct investment strategy. The entrepreneurial spirit, a core value at Drake, mandates a significant allocation to operate companies where the group has relevant decision-making powers. This strategy should create shared value: generate attractive returns for the group, while to support projects that benefit social interests. A Private Equity approach, with institutional processes and investment discipline, should be poised to generate extraordinary returns and be the driving wealth creation force for the portfolio.
