ATV's investment strategy leverages the core competencies and deep industry understanding of its investment professionals. By limiting our investment activity to select industries, we stay well-connected and well-informed in those chosen fields. Maintaining this focus enhances our ability to accurately evaluate an investment opportunity, help recruit talent for a portfolio company, assist with a company's business development or fundraising efforts and serve as an effective board member. We have also drawn upon this expertise to help refine a portfolio company's operations and refer technical experts and business leaders when appropriate.
