We are active investors. What does that mean? We believe we have the responsibility to make well researched investment decisions on behalf of our investors. During our relationship with our portfolio companies, we offer to management teams our own skills and external resources to help ensure that well grounded operating decisions are made.
Before an acquisition, we do a thorough business review of the opportunity. We focus on industry dynamics, a company’s relative competitive position, management’s skills and plans for the future. We feel strongly that rigorous due diligence during this period is crucial to the ultimate success of an investment. Additionally, our early work helps us become well versed in the key issues and opportunities in front of managment. We become more effective partners as important decisions are debated
Post closing, an investor can be a hand-off financial owner or can provide constant direction. Typically we play a role somewhere in between. It depends on the company, but we want to be an asset to management. We can act as an informed sounding board, or actively participating in a business decision with our own staff or specialized external resources. In all cases we are focused on trying to help make the most appropriate operating decisions to ensure long term success.
