Equity Group Investments

Conventional wisdom is nothing but a reference point

We lean toward investments others have bypassed, often due to situational complexity We deploy our in-house resources and leverage our considerable network to develop creative solutions – from financial restructurings to operational turnarounds Our deep respect of risk and dedication to understanding the downside enable us to take on assets others won’t

"When everyone is

going left, look right."

A true partner shares the risk

Every one of our senior investment professionals commits his/her own capital to every deal we do We have skin in the game So, we are highly engaged owners We get involved, working alongside portfolio company management often two to three levels deep within a company to maximize opportunity, potential and performance As a partner, we operate on the basis of transparency, alignment and trust

A macro view advances opportunity

We are industry agnostic Our investment portfolio ranges across sectors and geographies We look for patterns, anomalies and disruptions in areas like demographics, supply and demand, and changing legislation to identify opportunities — for new investments and for our portfolio companies This macro view aligns with our penchant for long-term investments; we are drawn to products and services that will be in demand for decades

Much of our investment activity in private companies goes under the radar, but here’s what we can share:
