Our philosophy is built on the following principles:
Reputation
We believe our reputation is our greatest asset. It is built and preserved by treating people fairly, being good partners and paying fair valuations.
True Partnerships
True partnerships are defined by mutual respect, a shared commitment and an open sharing of ideas. We believe that no one person has all the answers and that through an open sharing of ideas the best strategy will consistently emerge.
Long-Term Commitment
We believe that great companies and value are created over long periods of time. Investors who are transaction driven or emphasize immediate returns and other short-term strategies, add little value to the long-term vitality of a company.
Business Ethics
We believe business ethics and an equitable deal for our partners are consistent with the creation of long-term value.
Stewardship
We have a deep appreciation for a company's legacy and culture, and we take stewardship of businesses seriously. We believe in preserving the unique and valuable aspects of a company's culture while building to the "next level."
