Investment approach
We make control and significant minority investments which typically range in size from $15-50 million of equity. Because every transaction is unique, we take a creative and flexible approach to each investment. In analyzing opportunities, our primary focus is on market dynamics and business fundamentals, including historical performance and potential for profitable growth, both organic and through acquisitions.
Corporate partnerships
Many of our investments are completed in partnership with corporations or not-for-profit organizations. These include carve-out transactions of non-core assets which have better prospects as standalone entities, as well as strategic co-ownership arrangements.
We build value at portfolio companies by
- Leveraging the extensive Altaris network within the healthcare industry;
- Funding aggressive growth plans;
- Supporting and strengthening management teams and boards of directors;
- Identifying and structuring acquisitions and strategic transactions;
- Instituting operational best practices.
