Balance-sheet StrengthLow leverage and ample liquidity give the firm durable financial flexibility. Net debt at 0.6x of adjusted EBITDA and an under‑drawn committed facility support acquisitive growth, buffer distributions and fund operations through market cycles over the next 2–6 months.
Cash Generation & MarginsSustained EBITDA growth alongside rising operating and free cash flow demonstrates robust cash conversion and margin resilience. Reliable cash generation supports reinvestment, M&A funding and strategic targets even if revenue timing or performance fees fluctuate.
Scale & Fee DiversificationGrowing AUM and a diversified mix (Lighthouse, NGI Strategic, partner firms) raise structural fee resilience. Improved average management fee and multi-channel performance fees provide structural revenue optionality and scale benefits over the medium term.
