A provenance of excellence

Founded in 1999 by Louis G. Elson and A. Michael Hoffman, intent on applying that proven model of generalist growth investing to a wider selection of smaller companies across Europe. 

Identifying long-term trends just getting underway in individual European countries, finding quality business owners and entrepreneurial managers interested in partnering patient capital to capitalise on those trends, and giving them unfettered professional support to accelerate their growth safely. 

Palamon has always been disciplined in targeting chosen investments with quality management capable of taking advantage of clear open water ahead with favourable winds at their backs.
