Private Equity

We help companies realize their growth potential. We unlock value by identifying great companies with untapped potential and enhancing their performance.

We have a diverse set of skills developed across market cycles, and we pursue many paths to value, including through opportunistic buyouts and build-ups, corporate carve-outs, and distressed investments, and often goes against the grain of what other investors are doing, to target investments on behalf of managed funds at deep discounts to market averages. We rely on our industry specialization, willingness to embrace complexity, ability to adapt quickly to capitalize on market dislocations, and creative structuring expertise to capture value on the buy. We also aim to create value by working with our asset portfolio companies on operational improvements, with flexible capital structures providing downside protection.

The private equity funds we manage have owned more than 150 companies since inception, across sectors that include financial services; business services; consumer services; Sports; chemicals; natural resources; consumer and retail; leisure; manufacturing and industrial; and media, telecom and technology. Through steadfast purchase price discipline and active portfolio management, collaborating with management teams and a deep bench of operating executives, the private equity funds we manage have generated strong returns across market cycles, while focusing on downside protection.
