Thesis
EXI Investment Partners is a private equity firm founded in 2020, headquartered in Lake Forest, Illinois. Their investment thesis centers on long-duration, capital-efficient buyouts of small to mid-market companies, with a focus on specialty manufacturing, distribution, and business services sectors. They target businesses with recurring revenue, strong cash flows, and growth potential, often looking for companies generating up to $10 million in EBITDA. A key aspect of their strategy is the focus on Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS)-eligible investments. EXI utilizes single-asset investment vehicles and partners with family offices and permanent-capital sources on a deal-by-deal basis, avoiding traditional blind-pool funds. This allows for flexible mandates and tailored investment horizons. Their current portfolio has a presence in the US Southeast and Midwest. The firm does not publicly disclose its AUM or total capital deployed.
