Will Thomson
About Me:
Currently the Managing Partner of a value-oriented investment partnership focused on investing in real asset business (energy, materials, and heavy industry) with a specific focus on opportunities arising from the world's growing demand for metals and energy in all forms. From an investment perspective, I aim to support my clients' goals of having a positive impact and earning a return, a goal that can be achieved by investing in solutions-oriented companies operating in industries that are both challenging to decarbonize and economically critical.
I have previous experience in energy and mining-related work, including private equity, credit analysis, and government policy. I combine a fundamentals-based approach to individual companies with in-depth capital cycle analysis and a focus on the supply-side constraints of commodity production to assess compelling investment opportunities.
