The EMK Way
Built on purpose
& principles
EMK was established to invest the EMK Way.
The EMK Way is a structured, methodical approach to investment that has been meticulously developed, tested, and distilled over decades by EMK’s founders, Edmund Lazarus and Mark Joseph.
It is the foundation upon which EMK as a firm, and its success, have been built.
The EMK Way is our blueprint for delivering growth through enterprise transformation and strengthened leadership, arising from the development of proprietary insights through primary research, guiding decisive action.
E
Enterprise
We will relentlessly seek out new thinking, new opportunities and wider, deeper networks of relationships. We will act with conviction, decisively.
Our investments are underpinned by tailored and highly ambitious and achievable transformation strategies designed to enhance enterprise value. These include product, service and geographic expansion, strategic add-on acquisitions, and substantial growth capital expenditure to maximise the potential of our portfolio companies.
M
Management
We will not rest until we have the most effective managers in every leadership position in our portfolio. We will give each of our leaders the best possible resources to develop even greater capability.
The success of any enterprise transformation rests on the strength and calibre of its leadership. At EMK, we partner closely with management teams to align leadership capabilities with the strategic needs of each business, ensuring they are fully equipped to execute ambitious growth plans with clarity and precision.
K
Knowledge
We will earn the right to own our portfolio businesses by creating a deeper understanding of the markets, customers, competitors and operations than any other potential owner.
We build proprietary sub-sector theses that draw on deep intellectual capital to develop proprietary insights, uncover overlooked opportunities, and guide decision-making throughout the investment process.
Rigour. Alignment.
Clarity.
The EMK Way represents the disciplined codification of our investment principles into a structured approach that unifies our team and supports superior decision-making across the lifecycle of our investments.
The EMK Way is the cornerstone of our past and future success. It is reflected in the growth and transformation of our portfolio.
