Over the last 15 years we have invested in 33 companies in a variety of industries. These outstanding management partners have used our capital to build tremendous value for themselves and our investors. We have sold our investment in 19 of our portfolio companies generating an average return on investment of nearly 28% per annum. These exceptional returns resulted from the marriage of sound business plans, outstanding management talent, superior execution and a carefully chosen exit when the time was right for the company and the market. PARTNERSHIP We are a trusted and reliable partner. Unlike other rms that are also involved in investment banking, lending or consulting, we are solely focused on private investing. Because this is all we do, we have no other motivations or interests beyond our portfolio companies long-term success. PERMANENT CAPITAL We have no exit strategy. Because our funding is virtually permanent, we have no need for liquidity. We are content to wait until conditions are optimal. When the time is right, we have developed a superior process to realize the maximum all-cash, after-tax value with the least downside exposure. Having consummated dozens of sales and several IPOs, we know how to run the most effective process to obtain the maximum after-tax proceeds on the best possible terms.
