Our Approach

We invest in high-quality companies with continuous profit growth, strong margins and a robust market position. Our approach fosters an optimal environment for success—built on decentralization, trust, and an ownership mindset—while keeping bureaucracy to a minimum.

Our Operating Model

At ECHG, we invest in high-quality businesses with a proven track record of profitability and strong market positioning. Our operating philosophy is built on a decentralized, independent model that emphasizes an ownership mindset and minimal bureaucracy.

Autonomy

We operate as a decentralized organization, empowering local management teams to make day-to-day decisions. We believe that those closest to the business are best equipped to determine what’s right for its success—especially when their interests are aligned with ownership. To protect management’s time and focus, we keep reporting requirements and bureaucracy to a minimal, limiting them to key financials and KPIs that truly matter.

Ownership mentality

We foster strong alignment between subsidiary management and ECHG’s long-term owners. True ownership mentality comes from having skin in the game, which is why we encourage management to invest alongside us. This shared commitment drives long-term success and ensures that we win—together.

Team

ECHG’s board brings over 30 years of investment experience, having acquired and managed 25+ companies across various industries. While our central team provides strategic support when needed, we trust in the entrepreneurial spirit and capabilities of local management to drive continuous value creation.
