Governance

How we govern what we own

1st Choice Holdings is the asset manager and parent. It provides capital, ownership standards, governance, and strategic direction for the businesses it owns.

We invest with patience, govern with discipline, and build with the expectation that enduring businesses are created over years, not quarters.

Ownership standards

  • Standards for what we own

    We own each business on its own results. Management is held to clear standards for performance, risk, and governance for as long as we own the company.

  • Capital discipline

    We allocate long-term capital where innovation, disciplined governance, strong operations, and market relevance can create enduring value. We add operating businesses when the ownership case is sound.

  • Risk

    Risk is part of the standard we set with management: performance, risk, and governance, applied to the business as it is run. Each company is judged on its own customers, management, and results.

  • Long-term stewardship

    We take a long-term approach to ownership and capital allocation, and we support portfolio companies with resources, governance, technology, and strategic perspective. Long-term capital. Lasting value.

Protect value. Create value. Compound value.

Separate operating companies

These are separate operating businesses. Each one has its own customers, management, and results. We own them for the long term, provide capital where it is needed, and hold management to the standards above.
