PROFILE |
 |
Known for its conservative principles, Caledonia Investments is a trading and investment firm with stakes in financial, industrial, property, and other companies. A long-term investor, the firm looks for smaller companies whose stock is out of favor. Caledonia owns about 20% of merchant banking firm Close Brothers Group. Other holdings include hydraulic valve manufacturer Sterling Industries, hotel operator Sun International Hotels, crystal maker Edinburgh Crystal, and Hong Kong shipping business Wallem Group. Caledonia Investments was founded in 1878 by the Cayzer family, which owns about 35% of the company and gives liberally to the conservative Tory party.
