Capital allocated to continuity must satisfy two conditions that conventional portfolios do not require. First, it must preserve function, not just nominal value, across an interrupted future. Second, it must generate real carry during normal conditions to justify its holding cost. Emerging markets, and Africa in particular, offer the strongest convexity for this dual mandate.
This document outlines our sector-by-sector positioning.
Sector 1: Energy
Distributed, non-grid-dependent energy is the enabling layer of any self-sufficient community. Solar, wind, long-duration storage such as iron-air, gravity, and vanadium flow, plus small-scale nuclear form the technical stack.
Our positioning is to build behind-the-meter systems for Ark communities with a target of 150% of peak load capacity and 14 days of storage.
Partnerships cover generation, storage, distribution, and maintenance.
Sector 2: Food Systems
Closed-loop food production requires controlled environment agriculture, aquaponics, seed vaulting, and soil regeneration.
JM Group positions across three tracks: greenhouse CEA for vegetables, aquaculture for protein, and dry storage for grains. Each Ark is designed to feed its permanent population plus 300% surge capacity.
Sector 3: Water
Water security requires extraction, purification, and recycling, with atmospheric water generation serving as tertiary backup.
Our positioning is a primary source, secondary purification sized for double peak demand, and a tertiary atmospheric system with a minimum of 90 days of storage.
Sector 4: Health and Longevity
Health continuity includes acute care, chronic disease management, and longevity interventions.
Each clinic is designed to be staffed by a general surgeon, emergency physician, and longevity specialist, with pharmaceutical reserves held in climate-controlled vaults.
Sector 5: Data and Communications
Data continuity requires local processing, encrypted storage, and redundant communications. Quantum-resistant encryption is treated as mandatory.
The stack includes a local mesh network, two satellite terminals, one HF radio backup, and fully encrypted storage with post-quantum algorithms.
Sector 6: Manufacturing and Tooling
A closed-loop community cannot rely on external supply chains for replacement parts. Additive manufacturing, CNC milling, and basic metallurgy provide on-demand fabrication.
Our positioning includes multiple 3D printers, a 5-axis CNC mill, a basic foundry, and a two-year rolling reserve of feedstock.
Sector 7: Governance and Legal Structures
Continuity requires a legal framework that survives its originating jurisdiction. JM Group uses a tiered legal structure: foundation in a stable jurisdiction, trust in the host country, and private membership agreements, with disputes resolved by binding arbitration.
Additional Sectors
Additional sectors identified in the continuum include construction and materials, transportation and logistics, waste management, education and knowledge transfer, finance and tokenisation, security and access control, textiles, chemical and pharmaceutical storage, art and cultural preservation, and genetics and seed banking.
