| The philosophy
of 21st Century Group
is to invest in or acquire a diversified portfolio
of lower middle market companies with superior management
in place. We believe that the experience, expertise and
continuity of a good management team are invaluable assets.
The emphasis on quality management cannot be overstated.
We partner with management teams that have the ability to
implement long-term strategic thinking, improve operations
and information systems and increase the performance and
potential value of the acquired companies.
21st Century Group
believes in establishing a strong relationship with management
through the joint development of long-term goals and objectives.
After an acquisition, we work closely with management to
maximize value. This is done through a post-acquisition
retreat that emphasizes managing for shareholder value and
its relationship with return on capital.
We execute our philosophy primarily through a leveraged
buy-out investment strategy. We target companies in sectors
such as manufacturing, value-added distribution, service,
and media.
- We focus on companies with annual revenues between $15
to 150 million or transactions values of between $15 to 100
million
- We make direct private equity and equity-related investments
- Acquisition candidates may include:
- divisions or subsidiaries of public or private companies
- private companies seeking liquidity
- family owned companies seeking intergeneration transfer
of wealth
- public companies desiring to go private
