Investor Relations
At United Holdings we believe and demonstrate the fact that business success is as much about clear thinking and strategies as much as about discipline. We have therefore defined criteria to approach investment opportunities. A clear business model with robust strategies and an efficient management team are basic criteria for investment. The role of the business environment on the bottom line cannot be negated and so a stable or growing industry is a must to qualify as a viable investment opportunity.
Strong gross margins and positive cash flows or potential for cash flow within a specified period of time govern our approach to investment. United Holdings believes in creating share holder value by creating enduring brands. This is possible by delivering clear competitive advantages against the competition. We create platforms for growth and improvement through strategic and operational initiatives. We seek to immerse ourselves in the targeted companies by playing an active role in management and streamlining business processes for success.
At United Holdings sound corporate governance is a cornerstone for value creation and organic growth. Based on the core principles of fairness, transparency and accountability, the company strives to maintain a high standard of corporate governance by establishing a comprehensive and efficient framework of policies, procedures and systems.
Our corporate governance framework guides us in determining strategies for value creation and performance optimization. It enables us to clearly define our objectives, company’s structure, roles and responsibilities of stakeholders, systems and procedures for corporate transparency, accountability, risk management and monitoring.
The framework prescribes the policies and procedures for implementation of corporate governance with our joint venture partners, associates, subsidiaries and other stakeholders.
Our proactive approach in reviewing our corporate governance policies on a regular basis enables us to adapt to the varying changes in the environment and react positively.
Risk management is a critical function for any successful investment organization and we are no different. At United Holdings, risk management is an ongoing program. Risk is all about identifying eventualities even before they occur and being prepared for it. A detailed strategic plan in line with every investment opportunity is drafted to handle risk. This is commensurate with the expected return on investment.
Our risk management program involves identification, measurement, dealing with risk, reporting and managing risk. United Holdings adopts internationally proven risk management practices within the current regulatory framework to make the best out of every opportunity. Our risk management models are subjected to the touchstone of the markets on a regular basis and updated to evolve continuously.
At United Holdings, risk is factored into every process be it strategy, business planning, operations or investment management. This enables us to define risk by individuals and operating divisions offering better control and management. Every individual is therefore acutely aware of each activity’s risk and is able to manage it according to established strategy, policy and tolerance levels.
