The materials of
the future.

The energy and intelligence transitions are material-intensive. We invest in the secure, responsible supply of the resources a new economy depends upon.

Critical Resources
Investment Thesis

Copper for grids, lithium and nickel for batteries, rare earths for motors, high-purity materials for semiconductors, and water for everything. Demand for these inputs is set to rise sharply while supply chains remain concentrated and fragile.

We focus on the midstream and processing segments — refining, recycling and industrial infrastructure — where capital is scarcest and strategic value is highest.

Focus Areas

Where we invest.

01

Processing & refining

Midstream capacity that converts raw resources into battery- and grid-grade materials.

02

Circularity & recycling

Recovery of critical metals from end-of-life batteries and electronics.

03

Water infrastructure

Treatment, reuse and desalination for industry, agriculture and cities.

04

Advanced manufacturing

Domestic capacity in strategic components and materials.
