Investment Strategy
Investment Strategy

Smart Holding implements an investment strategy focused on finding the best investment opportunities, ensuring sustainable development, and increasing the value of current assets. These goals are achieved through effective investment portfolio management and high standards of corporate governance.

The Group’s strategic goal is to increase the capitalization of portfolio companies by improving their management efficiency, as well as increasing the share of investments that have a positive social impact along with a significant financial result.

While maintaining the priority of investing in Ukraine, Smart Holding is preparing to restore assets after the end of hostilities, while expanding the geography of investments.

Portfolio diversification through international projects allows us to create a basis for accessing global capital and attracting it to the Ukrainian economy, as well as ensuring an optimal risk/return ratio within the entire Group.

The key criteria for such investments are:
  • achievement of an internal rate of return;
  • the presence of business scaling potential through entry into the Ukrainian market.
