Similarly, in Credit, we raise and invest capital across several private credit, public credit and public equity strategies.

Strategy
Why we are Different
Alignment
Crucial to our long-term success is the alignment of interests between our team, shareholders and clients. Members of our management team have a significant long-term ownership in Onex shares and invest meaningfully in our funds. We believe this alignment creates stronger relationships with both clients and shareholders. In addition to owning approximately 14 million of Onex’ outstanding shares, the Onex team has a total investment in our private equity, private credit and public strategies at market value of approximately $1.3 billion.
Entrepreneurial Culture
Our culture is guided by our strong commitment to accountability, intellectual honesty and respect for all our partners and stakeholders. Onex was formed on principles of entrepreneurialism and responsible investing and our team is united in recognizing the value of collaboration, diversity of perspective and background, and an inclusive environment. Our team takes an entrepreneurial approach to investing. We seek to work with talented chief executives who want to grow their businesses and embrace the change necessary to make it happen.
