PERFORMANCE

Equities 

Urban CAPITAL Private doesn't believe in self-congratulatory slogans and grandiose claims.  We're a small shop - very small in fact - but our returns can stand side by side with many of the best fund managers in the land.  

Whilst we're not big on trumpet blowing, it's fair to say that on any given measure, matched against any benchmark, pitted against any professional money manager with their hordes of analysts, mathematicians, quant boffins, super-computers and rocket scientists, Urban CAPITAL Private is performing OK.  Our only regret is the fact that we didn't invest infinitely more capital to facilitate an early retirement in one of the world's few remaining tax havens.  

Start-ups

It's early days in the journey for most of them and we'll patiently wait for our first overpriced exit...and wont be holding our breath in the interim.  A recent investment in the Craft Brewing space is one of the more promising opportunities we’ve encountered over the journey - and the best AGM we’ve had the privilege to attend ;-)

Our Philosophy  

Urban CAPITAL Private tries to call things pretty straight.  We love markets and hate governments - some more than others.  We're reasonably good at picking winners in the equities space, borderline in the property space and, to date, pretty ordinary in the start-up space.  Fortunately, it's our money to lose and we don't need to justify anything to anyone.  The markets will undoubtedly keep our egos in check and our temperament humble.  We don't for a second pretend that our historical results can be replicated and we don't have the first clue what any company will do over any time period in the future.  What we can say is the more we read, the more we listen, the more dots we can join...the luckier we seem to get.
