I. Determining at what level to invest.
• As “Asset Owner”– Owner & Operator– Higher level of risk– Knowledge of full
operations necessary– Access to key data and
hands on knowledge– Responsible for total
operations
• As “ Asset Investor”– Only provide investment
funds– Not “Operator”– Partner/owner yet limited
access to operations data– “outsider” not seen as
inside the operations– Lower asset risk, but
higher operations risk due to lack of insight on operations
