ABOUT OUR LEADERSHIP

Investment Highlights

  • Ethical Capital Framework

  • Guided by the Just War Doctrine, we invest in capabilities that reinforce self-defense and deterrence—not perpetual conflict

  • Dual-Track Growth Model Goals:

  • Innovative startup investments, defense startup investments and dual track startup investments.

  • Trade Finance Operations: Revenue-generating funding of purchase orders for small and mid-cap defense suppliers underserved by traditional banking.

  • Powerful Market Tailwinds

At the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, Allies committed to investing 5% of GDP annually in defense and security by 2035, including:

  • 3.5% of GDP for core defense capabilities and NATO targets.

  • Up to 1.5% of GDP for resilience, infrastructure protection, innovation, and industrial base strengthening.

  • This builds on the 2014 Wales Pledge(minimum 2% of GDP, with 20% on major equipment and R&D) to prevent capability gaps and ensure modernization across the Alliance1.

  • This builds on the 2014 Wales Pledge(minimum 2% of GDP, with 20% on major equipment and R&D) to prevent capability gaps and ensure modernization across the Alliance1. By contrast, the 2023 Vilnius Summit reaffirmed NATO’s enduring only 2% of GDP defense-spending commitment
