We seek to invest in:
Founder or family-owned businesses seeking institutional backing
Companies that require assistance in developing internal resources, capacity and infrastructure for future growth, or can otherwise benefit from access to operational resources or industry relationships
“Platform” acquisitions which will enable us to pursue build-up and pan-European consolidation strategies
Corporate divestitures or carve-outs, which often require significant operational and / or managerial support to create well-functioning and efficient stand-alone businesses
Public to private transactions
Special situations in which a liquidity solution facilitates the recapitalization of a stressed balance sheet and/or bespoke solutions for underperforming credits in bank and other lender portfolios
We seek to:
Target investments in businesses with defensible market positions and strong reputations with existing customers and other stakeholders
Focus on stable to growing end markets, although we will selectively consider investments in “out of favor” industries
Invest in companies where we believe we can add significant value, either by virtue of leveraging operational resources, industry relationships or M&A capabilities
Build market leaders with strong operations that will be positioned to succeed over the long-term
Utilize a flexible approach, creating transactions that are structured to provide either full or significant upfront liquidity with additional future upside depending on the sellers’ preferences and as appropriate
