Value Creation

values

Principled Investing

Relationship Driven

We hold a strong emphasis on building meaningful relationships which allows us to source quality deals and operate efficiently in the marketplace.

We specifically avoid transactions that are largely predicated upon successful market timing or a general rising tide. Our investments have a clear thesis and plan for executing value creation and for managing downside risk throughout our cycle of investment and disposition. We often find terrific investments in distressed or troubled assets whose intrinsic value can be realized with a reasoned approach and the appropriate positioning in the project and market, respectively.

Most importantly, our firm believes in a principled approach to investing, and we are committed to the highest standards of professional ethics and integrity. We believe in dealing fairly with all those with whom we work, and we will always seek to protect as best we can the interests of those who may bring us potential investments.
