Investment Size & Use
Our equity investments can range from $100-$600 million, in transactions that value businesses generally from $150 million to over $3 billion. Driven by company objectives, our capital is commonly used to provide liquidity to shareholders, working capital for growth and financing for acquisitions.
Ownership Position
We are equally comfortable investing for minority or majority positions in order to best support our portfolio companies. We are an active, value-added investor, generally working with management on key objectives at the board level, but leave day-to-day operations to the company.
Investment Period
We are a long-term, patient growth investor looking to build value over time, with a holding period that has averaged more than 5 years over the past 15 years.
Our experienced team follows a sector-focused, partnership-oriented approach to investing, identifying and collaborating with management teams at high-quality businesses that we believe are positioned for sustained growth.
