The firm prefers sectors like consumer goods/services, manufacturing, home building products, telecommunications, automotive, business services, and industrial sectors, with experience in Aerospace, Maritime, Defense, and Food/Agriculture. Primary fund vehicles range from $250M to $1B. For direct investments, they look for companies with $5M-$20M in EBITDA and an enterprise value of $25M-$100M, focusing on control-oriented opportunities.
