Our Approach
EnCap's core investment fundamentals have successfully guided the firm for more than 34 years.
Experienced
We support seasoned management teams with proven track records of success. We look for strong technical and operational skills, a history of value creation, a well-defined business plan and a common understanding of risk.
Relationships
We invest in management teams that understand the value of building strong relationships and put a premium on working with their stakeholders.
Discipline
We take a conservative, disciplined approach to advancing capital, doing so in incremental stages as each business plan proves itself over time.
Early Stage
We believe early-stage companies make excellent investments when they are advised by a capital provider with deep experience in their sector and expertise in managing and building businesses.
Risk Management
We limit the use of leverage and apply a thoughtful investment philosophy that balances capital preservation with value creation.
Adapt
As we have throughout our history, we continue to identify segments of the energy market that offer the most attractive opportunities, including opportunities created by the global transition to a lower-carbon energy system.
ESG in Action
We believe our fiduciary responsibility to our investors includes incorporating environmental, social and governance factors into our decision-making process. For more than three decades we have focused on being a good steward of our investors' capital. We remain committed to being a responsible investor by maximizing returns in an ethical way that protects the environment and our communities.
