The private market remains a very important strength that we have continued to build upon, enhance and evolve. Our objective is to invest in high-quality businesses and to partner with company management to grow and improve our companies for the long-term.

We are interested in industry-leading franchises and companies poised for significant improvement or growth that attract high-quality management teams. Our approach is to combine international resources with industry knowledge and operational expertise to help improve the portfolio companies over the long-term.

Our investors are also interested in investing both in upstream production and services as well as in the long-lived quality assets that provide critical links in the supply chain, in every case creating products to match the very different risks and returns thoughtfully and carefully. As global restructure continues, we want to be able to provide strong financial and operating resources and knowledge at a time when it is in great demand.

As for IC industrial, we look for attractive investment opportunities. Our resources and global network of professional relationships position us to be a partner of choice for industrial giants and FOF who seek flexible capital solutions and M&A opportuntities for new expensions.
