Building on 80 years of our family tradition.
Sabri Ülker (1920 -2012)
We are a family office that combines our family’s 80 years of entrepreneurial dna with meticulous financial discipline.
We invest in companies that are
disciplined,
hard working,
focused and financially sound.
Our approach is based on key principles of
curiosity,
patience,
courage and humility.
Our grandfather, Mr Sabri Ülker’s quote reminds us of these principles:
“Wake up early, never skip breakfast and boil your own coffee.”
A Letter from Chairman
At Clarastra, our approach is based on a disciplined and rigorous analysis of the companies in which we invest. We focus on identifying companies with strong financial fundamentals, great people, a competitive advantage, and the potential for long-term growth.
We invest in a range of asset classes, including food and beverage brands, retailers, financial institutions, healthcare technologies, medical equipments, machine learning and artificial intelligence. We also manage equities, fixed income, and alternative investments in order to create diversified portfolios that can weather market volatility. Our portfolios utilize extensive expertise in the industries and sectors in which we invest, and utilize a bottom-up approach to investment analysis.
In addition to our investment analysis, we also take into consideration environmental, social, ethical, and governance (ESG) factors when making investment decisions. We believe that companies that prioritize sustainability and ethical practices are better positioned to generate long-term value for their shareholders and contribute to the greater good of society.
We also believe that active management is essential to delivering strong investment performance. We continuously monitor our investments and make adjustments to our portfolio as necessary to take advantage of changing market conditions and identify new financial opportunities.
At Clarastra, we understand that each company has unique financial goals and risk tolerances. Therefore, we tailor our investment strategies to each company’s specific needs. Both our in house investment professionals and non-executive advisors work closely with potential and current companies to develop a financial strategy that aligns with their unique objectives.
We take pride in our track record of investment performance honoring Mr Sabri Ülker and our family’s 80 years long entrepreneurship history. Our success is a result of our disciplined investment approach, expertise, and commitment to long-term success while maintaining a humble state.
We always wake up early, never skip breakfast and brew our own coffee.
Ahmet Özokur
Chairman
