Our philosophy
Flexibility
We demonstrate flexibility when structuring transactions, and when catering to an owner’s goals post-closing. We prefer partnering with management teams, but have the bench strength to deploy executives in buyout situations, when owners seek full liquidity.
We prefer to purchase a controlling interest in transactions but have the ability to invest in minority transactions as well.
Growth
Our primary goal is growth, whether it be through organic initiatives or strategic acquisitions. This approach also impacts the way we capitalize businesses; we avoid excessively leveraging our portfolio companies.
