Partnering to Add Value
Our goal is to generate superior long-term gains on equity investments. We partner with strong management teams who care who their capital partner is and who have meaningful economic stakes in the success of their businesses. We add value through the Centre Resource Model and our entire network, as well as our creativity and experience. Our experience and expertise and that of our network, along with our successful investment history and collaborative culture, differentiate us from other middle market private equity firms.
We work diligently with our management teams to help them formulate strategic, financial, and operational plans that drive growth and enhance profits. During implementation, we make the resources of our powerful network, most notably our COPs, available to help our management teams achieve their goals and create value. Our investment professionals are diligent and proactive board members who understand that managers need operational autonomy. We are focused and always available without being intrusive.
We partner with strong management teams with in-depth knowledge of their industries who are deeply committed to making their businesses successful and to building lasting franchises. All of our management partners invest a significant portion of their net worth in their businesses. We design equity focused incentive programs based on performance and value creation, which are powerful motivational tools for management teams. We want our management partners to feel, think, and act as owners.
We strive to be creative and flexible. Our proficiency with a wide range of investment structures enables us to custom tailor the form of our investment to fit the needs of the transaction. We take pains to solve any problems that require special consideration, and we pride ourselves on being able to create a suitable structure for even the most complex situations.
Even before we enter into a formal relationship, Centre Partners brings to the table an array of strengths that contribute significantly to a successful outcome of the investment process. We make it our mission to work with our partners to realize full value from core business strengths while supporting and enhancing current operations.
Few private equity firms have the expertise of Centre Partners or our successful investment history. Since the firm’s inception in 1986, we have completed over 90 transactions, in more than 30 industries. We have managed in excess of $3 billion, with a strong investment record. Our eight Executives have an average of more than 18 years of private equity experience.
