Capital Thirteen
This framework documents how Capital Thirteen Ltd governs, allocates capital and acts as a long-term owner.
Permanence. Structure. Trust.
Capital Thirteen is a privately held UK holding company. We allocate capital with discipline and take a long-term view of ownership.
Our approach is simple: Build. Hold. Back.
What we are
We are structured for permanence and long-duration decisions.
We are selective and deliberate. We choose a small number of situations where risk, governance and alignment can be underwritten with clarity.
We prefer quality over volume. We would rather do less and do it well.
How we operate
We provide patient capital and do not work to a fixed investment horizon. We are comfortable holding for as long as the fundamentals remain sound.
We aim for long-term alignment with founders and management teams. We focus on incentives, governance and capital structure from the start.
We are hands-on where it improves outcomes and hands-off where it does not. The default is autonomy, supported by clear accountability.
Our framework
Our approach is organised around four pillars.
Identity - who we are and how we think
Mandate - how and why we deploy capital
Focus - the types of businesses and assets we back
Stewardship - how we support and govern long-term value
Our Responsibility
We are built to be permanent owners. We act with discipline in capital allocation and restraint in decision-making, and we take responsibility for the consequences of our choices.
Capital Thirteen Ltd is a privately held UK holding company.
