Year History

New Ideas, Familiar Values
Our ethos and approach to investing was honed at Soros Fund Management, where we invested as the Strategic Investments Group from 2005 to 2018. Newlight Partners was formed in October 2018 with the spin out of the team from Soros Fund Management. As Newlight Partners, we continue to build on that experience and approach as we pursue new opportunities to build world-class businesses.
Our strategic approach to partnership and business building
We partner with great management teams to build businesses. We focus on relationships, not transactions. The best ideas for business building form at the intersection of a compelling investment theme and a talented, entrepreneurial management team with the ambition and vision to build something special. The starting point may be a de novo concept, a platform company or anything in between. The most important criteria is a strong partnership between Newlight and management.
Our unique model combines active engagement with flexible capital
Building businesses is never a straight line; it requires coordinated effort and flexibility. Our model provides management teams with capital over time to invest prudently in organic growth and opportunistic M&A. With patient capital and a desire to be engaged and valuable partners to management, we collectively drive value over the long-term.
