OUR BUSINESS APPROACH

We are patient but creative investors. We look for investments marked by characteristics that we know we can leverage to create profitable growth and solid long-term returns for our investors. Our principal investment criteria are:

Strong market position. A business with a leading or strong market position can better maintain its profitability and competitive edge, even while expanding into new markets.
Established business. We look for businesses that have shown they can survive amid difficult or changing market conditions. Stamina is essential for long-term growth.
Moderate growth. Experience has taught us that companies able to achieve moderate but steady growth can be excellent long-term performers and platforms for expansion.
Partnering with management. We much prefer to partner with existing management, who know the business best and can benefit from our team's creativity and professional skills. Properly aligning the interests of investors and management improves the likelihood of success. In some cases, however, we may also consider bringing in a new experienced management team.
Sensible pricing. We look for businesses that are realistically priced in terms of their growth prospects and fundamental value in the marketplace.
Building Global Reach. Our partnership with Champ.
Working with Our Limited Partners. Financial and administrative support
