Home About Investment Approach Portfolio The Arch Team Investor Login Contact Arch Difference Arch Equity Partners differs from the many private equity firms that attempt to create value through financial engineering. Arch does not over leverage companies with unsupportable debt structures instead including equity investments within the capital structure of each portfolio company. Arch understands that creating long-term value only comes through operational improvements, professional management practices, and profitable business growth. The companies Arch seek have achieved success because of their proven ability to ‘do’ something that the marketplace values. Adding to that success Arch provides the scale that middle market companies may lack to attract build out the management team required to exploit the significant growth and profit potential.
