Thesis
With over C$5.0 billion in equity capital managed, including TorQuest Partners Fund VI (C$2.1 billion) and TorQuest Partners Fund V ($1.4 billion), the firm targets industries such as business services, chemicals, consumer products, financial services (including FinTech), industrial products, software (SaaS), and transportation/logistics. Their strategy involves partnering closely with management teams through corporate carve-outs, recapitalizations, family successions, and management buyouts, often employing a platform strategy with add-on acquisitions. Investments typically range from $15 million to over $100 million, with enterprise values between $40 million and $250 million. The firm emphasizes a collaborative approach, deep industry expertise, and disciplined execution to drive growth and build long-term value.
