Experience:

• The Sponsors of Lakson have been managing 6 publicly quoted companies and several private companies (some of which are Joint Ventures with Fortune 500 companies) for over 50 years.
• The Sponsors of Lakson have been managing over PKR 1 billion in retirement funds for group companies as part of their fiduciary responsibilities as Trustees.
• The Investment Team at Lakson Investments has over 85 years of combined investment management experience.
• All of our group companies have been founded and organically grown by our founders and principals.

Reputation:

• Lakson is one of the most widely respected and diversified business groups operating in the country today.
• We have long-standing affiliations with several Global Fortune 500 companies.
• The Sponsors of Lakson have a proven history of paying dividends and royalties through the companies they manage.
• As a part of the Lakson umbrella, LI has a responsibility to protect and reinforce Lakson’s corporate legacy.

Integrity and Independence:

• In our successful exit from the tobacco industry, by selling Lakson Tobacco to Philip Morris International, the Sponsors earned the same price per share for their 50.1% controlling stake as minority shareholders earned.
• Lakson does not directly or indirectly own or operate a brokerage firm or bank which we see as a conflict to investor’s interest.
• Lakson Investments does not engage in proprietary trading.
• Investment management is a team driven process carried out by the Investment Committee which is comprised of our senior most investment professionals.

Our experience, reputation, and commitment to integrity and independence not only set us apart, they are what drive us to succeed. We are acutely aware of the reputational risk the entire group will shoulder if we do not manage to perform at the highest level or put the interests of our investors first.
