GLSV tries to identify and support companies that have the potential to become leaders in their markets. To maximise possible returns on investments and manage risk, GLSV also tries to ensure a balanced industry sector distribution that reflects the trends in technological innovation. A global perspective is provided by syndicate partnerships with leading US-based funds.
