Diversified Strategy

Apex’s diversified approach allows it to pursue superior returns by capitalising on cyclically mis-priced opportunities across commodity cycles

Diversification drives a cycle of enhanced returns

A diversified portfolio lowers volatility, leading to higher quality of earnings which unlocks a lower cost of capital, leading to higher NAVs and an ability to be more competitive in securing further acquisitions, creating greater diversification.

Commodity diversification

Apex will invest in all minerals (with the exception of thermal coal). We have a preference for mainstream and future facing commodities but can invest in niche commodities subject to appropriate returns.

Geographic diversification

Apex’s global mandate allows us to access opportunities across the world, however, typically we focus on established mining royalty jurisdictions with a preference for OECD countries.

Asset stage diversification

We will invest across the full spectrum of a mining asset’s life cycle. Whilst we have a preference for production and near production assets, we invest in earlier stage opportunities where appropriate risk adjusted returns are available and where there is a pathway to a large scale asset.
