STRATEGIC PLAN
Wilmington continues to advance its principal objectives of making investments capable of generating appreciation in value as opposed to current income and to maximize shareholder returns by investing its own capital alongside partners and co-investors in hard assets and private equity funds. These assets are managed through the Corporation’s operating platforms where Wilmington can add scale and improve valuations.
