Supreme Value Creation and Addition (SVCA) Strategy is our multi-disciplinary approach to execute growth and optimization efforts through a company’s management team. Our strategy is a compilation of cutting edge practices we have developed from over 100 years of collective experience in investing and operating companies.
Our approach is grounded by the philosophy that value is created by focusing on business fundamentals. These include a focus on strategic planning, recruiting and retaining key members of management, fostering growth, enhancing operating performance, identifying and executing synergistic mergers and acquisitions and realizing equity value.
Our value creation strategy serves as a resource for management as it positions itself for accelerated growth. A close working relationship with the management team of a portfolio company is a fundamental element in our operating philosophy and the key to our success. We do not involve ourselves in the day-to-day operations of a portfolio company. Rather, we seek to create equity value in a company by assisting management in identifying the key strategic, operating, and financial priorities and the resources needed to successfully execute those priorities.
Initiatives to build equity value across the enterprise include:
STRATEGIC PLANNING — In addition to the experience of Key Funding’s investment professionals, we leverage affiliations with industry experts, including our industry Affiliate Partners and network of industry contacts, in developing and implementing strategic plans for our portfolio companies.

- Strategic Direction and Planning
- Refining Strategic Planning and Thinking Through Execution

RECRUITING AND RETAINING KEY MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT — We generally make investments in companies with strong and proven management teams in place. However, in some cases we may recruit additional management when it is required to support the growth of a company. We typically utilize our significant industry contacts for this purpose. In addition, we take an active role in ensuring that the appropriate incentives are in place for the management team. Such incentives are carefully structured to attract, promote, and retain quality managers while protecting the fund’s investments and encouraging high returns on invested capital. In this way, we ensure that the goals of the company, management and investors are aligned.

FOSTERING GROWTH — We believe that long-term equity value can be created through a variety of strategic initiatives, including brand building, new product development, strategic alliances, and entry into new channels of distribution.
