The Sentient Group | Investment Strategy

Sentient's Review Process

The Sentient Group has a structured and rigorous review process. Each step from the preliminary review, through site visits, detailed operational and financial evaluation, technical and financial due diligence and documentation of transactions occurs in a realistic timeframe before a final approval is made by Sentient's Investment Committee. Sentient, as part of its evaluation process, will study its exit strategies and options. Funds will not be advanced until the transaction documents are executed.

All aspects of each proposal ranging from the basic value proposition, sponsor management and exit strategy to specific resource, finance, country and operational risks are evaluated before coming to a decision.

Sentient is able to draw on its own extensive library and databases on resource industries, companies, projects and its network of independent external advisors during the process of making its investment decisions.
