Options to Engage

01 — Medical Supplies

The need for this is obvious. The demand is overwhelming. 

We are successful in optioning both “spot” deals as well as “production” deals, and can locate even the most difficult of items to source. This is made only possible by our worldwide supplier network. We are exceptionally fortunate that we do not have to rely upon any one region of the globe for the supply of these items, and can source any bespoke order, in any quantity. 

We alleviate the multitude of middlemen. We confirm the legitimacy of the items by working with professional entities, which have a proven track record of delivering quality items, at good market rates.

02 — Renewables

Before the Global Covid-19 pandemic, there was a growing movement as to “going green”. Nations, and investors were often conflicted with what was morally right compared to the fiscal reality of what was within their coffers. 

As a result of Covid-19’s impact on the world, questions are and will be asked about the way in which this virus originated, and also about what has been seen as a result of human’s limited interaction with the world during its lockdown. 

Green and sustainable energy is placed to be a significant driving force in policy and economic decisions, and we are primed to assist in this regard. 

Some key options available currently are in the following areas:

1. Water Capacity

One of the most important natural resources we have is water. There is considerable fear the world will run out of fresh water due to climate forces.

The European Environment Agency notes that some 20 European countries depend on other countries for more than 10% of their water resources. Five (the Netherlands, Hungary, Moldova, Romania, and Luxembourg) rely on rivers that flow in from other countries to provide more than 75% of their water. In the United States, cities from Los Angeles to Miami are concerned about water scarcity as climate change takes a toll on water resources. 

Water has also been the go-to resource for renewable energy for centuries. Throughout history, up to and including today, reliable technology (such as grain mills) relied only on waterpower. Today, projects such as China's massive Three Gorges Dam can supply electricity to between 70 million and 80 million households. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), hydropower is the most cost-efficient means of generating electricity.

2. Wind Power

Wind is one of the fastest-growing sources of renewable energy, having increased 75-fold over the past two decades. China leads the world with 217 gigawatts of installed capacity in 2018, followed by the U.S. with 96 gigawatts and Germany with 59 gigawatts. 

3. Solar Energy 

Energy from the sun powers homes, buildings and a variety of other items from lights to radios. Of course, there’s more to solar than panels. From components to installation, a wide variety of businesses present investment opportunities, which we can guide our clients through.  

4. Pollution Controls

The reduction of pollution is the key term here. From reducing greenhouse gas emissions on industrial power plants to minimizing the emissions that come out of the tailpipe of your car, the pollution control industry is on the rise. This is the industry that responds every time legislation mandates an improvement in the amount of some harmful chemical that can be released into the environment. We can option opportunities with companies and ETFs that focus on pollution control technologies. 

5. Green Transportation

When it comes to transportation, most people know only of Tesla, but on a smaller scale, researchers are working with fuel-cell technology to develop an alternative method of powering automobiles. When this technology works, there are millions of cars—and millions of consumers—waiting for it. 

6. Waste Reduction

Recycling has become a standard practice. Most people are aware that paper, metal and glass can be reprocessed and reused, but the things you did not know you can recycle continues to grow. Waste oil, vegetable oil, batteries, cell phones, computers and even car parts can have a second life. Recycling these items involves a business enterprise humming along in the background.

7. Organics

Organic farms eschew the use of pesticides, engage in sustainable farming practices and sell products that are often healthier to eat than the stuff composed of three-syllable words that you can't pronounce and a shelf-life measured in decades. They also engage in animal management practices that avoid the use of hormones and antibiotics, keeping those chemicals out of the food chain and out of the ground and water surrounding the farms. 

8. Aquaculture

Sustainable fishing is another food-related investment opportunity that is generating attention as the plight of the world’s overfished oceans impacts the human food chain.

9. Geothermal

Geothermal energy uses heat from the earth to produce clean energy. 

10. Top Environmental Policies

For many companies, the urge to go green is a relatively recent phenomenon. As with change everywhere, some firms adapt, and some do not. Optioning the firms with the best environmental records and practices is another way of looking at green investments.

05 — FMCG

The fast-moving-consumer-goods industry has a long history of generating reliable growth through mass brands. However, it is clear that this model that has fuelled this industry’s success now faces great pressure as consumer behaviours change.

In short, in this modern-day market, all FMCGs need to reduce their reliance on mass brands and offline mass channels and embrace a more agile operating model, focusing on brand relevance rather than synergies.

Disruptions including “the millennial effect, Data and digital intimacy, the explosion of small brands, and the increase in access to digital platform marketing has meant that the established traction of the man household names over the past decades is eroding, and is allowing new options which can lead to exceptionally performing start up and new players in the market. 

We are established with all aspects of this market, and have the team with proven history in delivering options and performance. Our team deals with all of the E-commerce giants and major store names, as well as utilising other outlets that would best serve the needs of the client. 

We help our clients establish a new operating model that abandons the historic synergy focus for a truly agile approach that focuses relentlessly on consumer relevance, helps companies build new commercial capabilities, and unlocks the true potential of employee talent. 

We also see the trend and requirement for FMCGs to keep driving costs down. We help clients achieve this by:-

    - zero-based budgeting

    - supply-chain and sales-and-operations planning

- the use of targeted data to improve manufacturing performance and use of advance analytics for real-time optimization to increase yield.
