- Investment focus

In Europe, a common theme of our holdings are businesses which provide 'outsourced services' such as sales/distribution channels or processing and administration services to financial institutions and major corporates.
  • In March 2000, JZI acquired a majority holding Freedom Finance Ltd, a leading player in the UK loan and mortgage distribution and processing market. We invested alongside the founder who retained a substantial stake in the business. Since our investment we have assisted the management team significantly expand its business not only in the UK but also into Spain and Sweden. In 2004, Freedom Finance purchased a majority shareholding at Mortgage Next, the UK's largest independent mortgage distributor.
