At first glance, a diversified portfolio might appear simply as a means to spread risk. But for Ingentes Capital, our cross-sector investment strategy is far more intentional than that. It reflects a deep-rooted belief: that true value creation happens when ideas, experiences, and insights flow freely across industries.
Since our inception in 2012, we’ve chosen not to be confined by a single niche. Instead, we’ve pursued opportunities across UK & European real estate, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and publishing sectors that, on the surface, may seem unrelated. But scratch beneath, and you’ll find they are all united by one thing: potential.
At Ingentes, we don’t view sectors in isolation. We understand that the forces driving growth in one industry can often inspire innovation in another. Our team approaches each investment with a wide-angle lens, using our multi-industry experience to spot opportunities others might overlook.
Take, for example, our work in real estate. It’s a sector that demands long-term vision, strategic patience, and a keen understanding of market cycles. These same principles have informed our approach to nurturing SMEs—helping founders think in terms of sustainable scalability, rather than short-term survival.
Similarly, publishing a sector undergoing rapid digital transformation has taught us about intellectual property, content monetisation, and the value of storytelling. These insights, in turn, shape how we support brands across other industries in building strong narratives that resonate with audiences and stakeholders alike.
By operating across multiple industries, we’re not just mitigating risk—we’re multiplying learning. Every sector brings its own set of challenges, cycles, and consumer behaviours. Our ability to adapt and apply lessons from one vertical to another is a key driver of the results we deliver.
This agility also allows us to weather uncertainty. When one market tightens, another often expands. Our diversified model ensures that we're always positioned to act—not react—when opportunity knocks.
Our cross-sector presence gives us a unique advantage: access to a rich network of entrepreneurs, dealmakers, advisors, and innovators across multiple domains. This ecosystem fuels collaboration, encourages new ideas, and often leads to opportunities that a siloed investor would never see.
We’ve seen how connections formed in one sector can spark ventures in another. A publishing partner may need property for a studio. An SME may benefit from branding strategies used in media. These interconnections create exponential value—far beyond the boundaries of a single industry.
We believe that curiosity is a competitive advantage. By staying curious about different industries, emerging trends, and evolving technologies, we stay ahead of the curve. And by being selective—backing only the opportunities that align with our principles and potential—we maintain the strategic edge that sets Ingentes apart.
For us, investing across multiple industries isn’t a gamble. It’s a deliberate, informed strategy rooted in insight, adaptability, and a hunger to unlock value wherever it lies. At Ingentes Capital, we don’t just follow the crowd, we connect the dots. Because in a world where industries are more connected than ever, cross-sector thinking isn’t just smart it’s essential.
