Philosophy

For 30 years, our investment philosophy has remained simple and constant: partner with management teams of leading brands and develop thier small and middle market opportunities to help them build and improve their international business results.

WWe believe representing our clients is a simple business that is difficult to execute well over time. We believe we have been able to deliver consistent results for our portfolio companies because we have steadfastly adhered to our principles and processes through many years and many economic cycles. This is why we have successfully supported and developed our partners through pivotal periods of growth for their companies.

We are a business builder, committed to investing in well-positioned brands that have the potential to improve operationally, strategically and commercially. In our partners and clients we look for:

• Companies with a strong position relative to their competitors
• Companies within a stable, growing market.
• Companies seeking a transformation – where significant operational change and in some cases, global expansion, can accelerate growth and profitability
• Strong deal and cash flow businesses offering immediate potential to create equity value regardless of the market environment.
• A value-add plan developed in partnership with management to help achieve a company’s full potential.
• A management team that we recognize as having the capability and drive to implement the value-added plan.
