Investing Update - September 2009


Marking our 25th anniversary, this year we made raising additional capital, expanding our Executive Affiliate pool, and investing "adjacently" our top priorities. In addition, we will be asking some of you to participate in a survey later this month. In these trying times, we realize now more than ever that you need to be dealing with investors who are committed, principled, and disciplined. Your opinion matters to us and we hope you will take the time to complete our survey so that we may improve both the efficiency and the effectiveness of our relationship.

Current Update
  • Fresh Capital: The admirable performance of our portfolio during "The Great Recession" and a consistent investment strategy that has outlasted several economic cycles will enable us to achieve a second closing for our current fund late this year. The closing will bring our capital under management to nearly $250 million.

  • New Executive Affiliates: One of the great equalizers small companies can draw upon to help combat the challenges they face when developing and executing against a strategic vision is the executive relationships we bring to bear from the board level. During 2009, we have developed exclusive relationships with several new Executive Affiliates with backgrounds in agricultural chemicals, value-added distribution, environmental process equipment, and high-precision machining. We look forward to working new projects with this group.

  • Adjacencies: We announced our focus on Eco-Adjacencies in the second quarter and we continue to develop our connected investment strategy by focusing on markets, companies, and technologies where HRCP relevance and differentiation are high. As our portfolio expands, so will our areas of adjacent relevance. Currently, we are targeting established equipment providers, component manufacturers, and processors selling technical solutions into a number of exciting industries. Please contact us directly to learn more about our current areas of focus.
Steadfast in Our Areas of Interest

Our investment criteria - what we seek - remains unchanged, notably we still target revenues of $25 million up to $200 million, predominantly in Engineered Products and Systems and Specialty Business Services. That said, we find ourselves most interested in businesses today that possess the following attributes and sector focus:
  • Companies with a strong recurring revenue base or services revenues

  • Process equipment suppliers - especially in the energy, utility and infrastructure markets

  • Outsourced commercial services and facilities maintenance

  • Capital goods manufacturers, even if they have experienced a downturn

  • Recapitalizations and non-control investments where a quality company needs some friendly capital for continued growth
We look forward to staying in touch with updates during the coming year and to continuing conversations about investment opportunities.
