Using our position as an independent investment company specialist, we promote our client companies as widely as possible in order to grow them. By actively engaging with existing and potential investors, we work to increase demand for the shares in the secondary market. This complements the efforts of the respective portfolio managers and brokers, with whom we collaborate closely. We conduct comprehensive market reviews to define intelligent, dynamic market strategies. These reviews typically involve sector and peer group analysis, investor consultation and perception studies, broker analyst opinion, market share and shareholder register analysis. We want to enhance the investment proposition, differentiate it from its peers and ensure its ongoing attractiveness. We also want to identify the relevant investor groups, determine how best to reach them and then create appropriate content. As part of our full service offering, Frostrow is able to manage all aspects of the day-to-day operations, administration and promotion of investment companies, thereby enabling investment managers to focus on the investment portfolios under their management. We are regulated by the FCA as a full-scope AIFM and we are able to ensure that the regulatory requirements of the AIFM Directive and all other UK regulatory requirements are met.
The relative attractiveness of different sectors will ebb and flow with economic cycles and changes in technology, consumer preferences, distribution methods and government policy. Equally, the key requirements for a successful investment will evolve. We have consistently adapted and refined our approach to reflect this changing environment. We enjoy what we do and like working together in an informal environment.
Many of our portfolio companies operate across multiple sectors, which makes our breadth of knowledge and experience invaluable. We have introduced or developed digital marketing platforms, data-driven customer acquisition / retention programmes and SEO / PPC optimisation into all of our B2B service businesses. Our ability to engage with the companies and assets in which we have invested is a critical lever to create value for our clients. We work closely with the board members of each of our portfolio companies, to help them identify further performance improvement opportunities.
All our investments are significantly driven and enhanced by technology, and are benefitting from our experience across the broader TMT sector and of implementing technological change programmes over many years. We look for opportunities to deploy funds in businesses that will increase in value, while at the same time paying due regard to our ESG objectives.
We take collective responsibility for our decisions and are totally committed to the success of Tunnel Lights Capital Partners and our investments. We believe this comes across in our dealings with portfolio companies and plays a very important role in building strong partnerships with management teams.
We have developed a detailed understanding of a broad range of sectors and built up an extensive range of contacts who source and advise us on new opportunities. We have also been able to deploy our business services expertise across a broad range of end-markets, including financial services, industrial services, energy, automotive, health and care, education and leisure.
Our ability to engage with the companies and assets in which we have invested is a critical lever to create value for our clients. We work closely with the board members of each of our portfolio companies, to help them identify further performance improvement opportunities.
