Global Capital BV generally does not invest in startups unless they provide alternative security for the loan or possess significant intellectual property with strong growth potential. The firm also typically avoids investments in logistics, commodities trading companies, and trade financing, except in cases where compelling factors or pledged assets warrant consideration. By following these criteria and prioritizing high-potential investments, Global Capital BV strives to build a diversified portfolio that generates strong financial returns while fostering environmental sustainability and social progress.
