A growth platform for defense, dual-use and deep tech at global scale

Chartered Opportunities Fund is a $500 million growth platform focused on defense, dual-use, and deep technology investments at global scale. The fund targets companies that have moved beyond early-stage risk, with validated demand, contracted revenue, or near profitability, and supports them through their next phase of scaling and value creation.

The strategy is built on combining private equity discipline with access to frontier innovation. Rather than investing based on narratives, the fund prioritizes real demand backed by enterprise and government buyers and underwrites opportunities based on unit economics, procurement visibility, and scalability. This approach enables the transformation of proven technologies into commercially viable, high-impact platforms.

Positioned at the intersection of geopolitics, industrial demand, and technological advancement, the fund focuses on sectors where long-term structural tailwinds are driven by national priorities and sustained government spending. It leverages cross-border access between innovation hubs and global industrial buyers, enabling portfolio companies to scale efficiently while aligning with strategic market needs.

From the outset, investments are structured with clear exit pathways in mind, including strategic M&A with global industrials, defense primes, and OEMs. Through disciplined execution and active value creation, the fund is designed to deliver tangible outcomes, converting innovation into scaled adoption and ultimately into realized returns for investors.

About Chartered Opus

Chartered Opus is a platform for the issue of bearer bonds.

Chartered Opus offers professional market participants (clients such as asset managers) the opportunity to realise “securitised” concepts/products for their own investment or for their customers.

Chartered Opus combines the client’s specified assets in a new product and “securitises” them. The Luxembourg Securitisation Act makes it possible to subdivide the balance sheet of an issuer into individual sub-funds (each a “compartment”). This legal option of securitisation transforms selected assets into a balance sheet-accounted sub-fund that is exclusively available to the respective owners. The issuer risk is thus limited to this sub-fund.
