Exor Ventures

Exor's primary strategy appears to be building and managing great companies for the long term. They focus on creating value through active ownership and strategic management of their portfolio companies. They look for established businesses with strong market positions and growth potential, rather than solely focusing on early-stage ventures, although they do engage in some early-stage activities through affiliated entities. Their letter to shareholders emphasizes a commitment to growth and working with exceptional people. The core focus seems to be on increasing Net Asset Value (NAV) and outperforming the MSCI World Index over time. They directly invest into mature companies that are already established in their respective markets. Exor holds significant equity stakes and voting rights in a diverse portfolio of global companies. Their involvement spans various industries, including automotive (Ferrari, Stellantis, CNH, Iveco Group), healthcare (Philips, Institut Mérieux), sports (Juventus Football Club), and technology (Via Transportation). The level of economic and voting rights varies across these investments, suggesting a tailored approach to governance and influence. Exor also founded Lingotto in 2023, a long-term investment management company, and John Elkann is also a trustee of MoMA showing investment and involvement in culture. They approach investments with a long-term perspective, emphasizing sustainable growth and value creation. This is evident in their involvement with established brands like Ferrari and Philips. While they mention an "investment approach" and a detailed checklist of financial and business issues, the specific criteria for new company investments are not explicitly detailed on the website, suggesting a case-by-case evaluation process.
