excellence across the organisation.
An example is the Acquisition Approval Process, where the
fundamentals of an acquisition target are assessed according to the
AAM Investment Philosophy prior to being accepted within the

Investment Criteria are applied and the subject compared to agreed
benchmarks. If the property is accepted at this stage, full, rigorous
due diligence is undertaken to fully understand the attributes of the
property and it’s investment potential. Finally, the property is
offered to the AAM Investment Committee for consideration, prior
to being accepted for acquisition.
This rigorous 4-stage due diligence process is designed to
ensure that all assessable factors are taken into account in
thea cquisition decision.

As founder and main strategic influence, Steven built
his last funds management business to an asset base
of approximately $900 million and over $1 billion of
properties under management. Since 2000, Steven has
personally overseen the purchase and divestment of a
further $1 billion of commercial properties and participated

and management projects which have resulted in
developments totaling around $380m in value.
Steven has been the project leader for dozens of business
growth and breadth expansion projects, and places great
importance on the process of defining and agreeing the
concept of success with the stakeholders and relentlessly
communicating with the participants.

other livestock export markets due to the value attributed
