Targeted Investments

Change in control opportunities, which frequently arise from acquisitions of family businesses where family succession is no longer an option, divestitures of businesses that no longer serve the strategic interests of the parent company, and going private transactions. We also invest in special situations such as companies undergoing restructurings or turnarounds and that need to carry out a change in capitalization.
