Our market thesis & value proposition

HIRSG's market thesis

Hawaii’s market is unique and takes time to understand.
  • Experienced operators can create value as advisors.
  • High level relationships facilitate solution velocity.
  • Local culture favors a community-facing approach from businesses, marked by respectful humility and pragmatism.
Natural capital underpins Hawaii’s economy and is increasingly in demand.
  • Migration to a low carbon economy favors specific asset classes.
  • Individuals with resource stewardship experience can help businesses successfully navigate Hawaii’s complex operating environment.
Asset & infrastructure management remain critical to achieving expected financial returns.
  • Renewable energy assets in Hawaii are progressing through their expected lifecycles; some already require reinvestment.
  • Current facility owners may prefer to divest than reinvest, which may create a portfolio opportunity.
