We are active long-term investors dedicated to a company's growth and profitability. Though we may suggest new ideas and strategies, we chart the best course for the future together. We provide management a meaningful, long-term equity position both as an incentive and an opportunity for wealth creation. Returns on our investment result primarily from growth and only secondarily from the use of financial leverage. We believe that each company should be capitalized in accordance with its long-term needs, to give management sufficient flexibility to pursue their strategy.
Additional capital is made available to support further growth or follow-on acquisitions.
This investment approach has consistently generated superior returns. We provide financing and transaction expertise, strategic guidance and a wealth of relationships, while management provides operating experience and leadership. Together we orchestrate a strategy for growth. We usually invest with a company's incumbent management team. However, our extensive network of seasoned operating executives has enabled us to broaden the scope of our investment search to include companies in need of new or additional management.
