Partnership Driven Approach to Investing
Our Strategies

We invest in market-leading companies that can benefit from our investment track record, deep industry knowledge, operating experience and relationships throughout our target markets. Our strategy is to invest throughout the long-product lifecycles of our highly technical target markets.

Private Equity

Drawing on decades of experience, we make control-oriented investments in strategically important middle-market companies—often as the first institutional partner following years of founder, family, or corporate ownership. As a growth-oriented investor, we partner with management teams to drive long-term value through both organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions. Our team brings deep investment, technical, and operational expertise to support innovation in the mission critical, highly regulated industries in which we invest.

Aerospace Leasing

We acquire commercial aircraft and engines under tailored lease agreements to produce current income and capital appreciation for our investors. We are an innovative lessor, leveraging a dedicated team of experienced investment professionals with deep technical and operational expertise, to partner with airlines in developed and emerging markets.
