Industry focus
Since 1991, we have invested in more than 300 companies and funds. We have developed expertise in specific industry verticals including Consumer, Retail & Industrials, Financial Services & Healthcare and Telecom, Media, Technology & Energy.

Our professionals are focused on opportunities in these sectors.

Global perspective
Our international transaction experience dates back to the early 1990s.

With offices in Toronto, London and New York, we not only source direct private equity investments all over the world, but also have better access to our portfolio companies in North America, Europe, Africa and the Asia-Pacific region. We are close to markets and opportunities as they arise. 

Governance principles
We believe good governance is good business. For direct investments in private companies, we encourage good corporate governance and effective boards with independent directors who bring relevant operating experience to portfolio companies.

For our partnerships with private equity funds, we believe transparency and alignment of interests for limited and general partners are important. We are a member of the Institutional Limited Partners Association (ILPA) and endorse the ILPA Private Equity Principles (1.59 MB PDF).
