Private Investments

Investment Philosophy

The preferred approach is to assist in the strategic direction of the business and be viewed as a trusted advisor. We strive to be a supportive and active resource to enhance the business strategy while leaving the day to day operations to management.

We bring access to a network of financial and business contacts that can be valuable in the growth and strategic development of the business either as a partner investor or in an advisory board capacity.

Our review of investment opportunities gives focus to:

  • Quality of management, employees, customers and suppliers
  • Industry fundamentals and growth potential
  • Capital structure and balance sheet
  • Competitive environment, availability of substitutes and barriers to entry
  • Sustainable competitive advantage through branding, quality, technology, proprietary production process, distribution or market channels, service, etc.
  • Cyclicality of business and corresponding sensitivities
  • Relative cost position and influence over costs
  • Ability to create value through operating efficiencies and synergies

Our investment structure and time horizon for holding an investment are flexible.
