Our investment compass remains fundamentally economically driven, globally oriented, and functionally focused within our core businesses—areas in which Moore Capital Holdings has demonstrated sustained excellence in both management and operations for more than four decades.
Our approach favors a disciplined and healthy balance across sectors, combining industry-based enterprises with brick-and-mortar investments, thoughtfully aligned with capital asset management strategies. This includes assets characterized by predictable fixed-cost structures and durable income flows, reinforcing long-term stability alongside measured growth.
In evaluating whether a given platform or initiative should be wholly owned by Moore Capital Holdings or pursued through a strategic partnership, we remain guided by prudence rather than dogma. Ownership is favored where operational control, institutional knowledge, and capital efficiency are decisive advantages. Partnerships are considered where complementary expertise, geographic access, or risk-adjusted returns are enhanced through alignment with the right counterpart.
Throughout, we continue to follow the philosophy and guidance established by our Founder and Chairman, Randall G. Moore—a framework that has served Moore Capital Holdings exceptionally well for nearly 42 years, anchoring disciplined decision-making, long-term value creation, and institutional resilience
