FLEXIBLE STRUCTURE
We are flexible as to structure and will consider transactions involving growth capital, acquisition capital, management buyouts, leveraged acquisitions, recapitalizations, ownership restructuring of family controlled businesses, and shareholder liquidity events.
Our approach is to acquire/invest in one or two new companies per year and focus on their success, rather than striving for a larger volume of deals and a “portfolio” return. The Slate Capital Group’s professionals are deeply involved with our portfolio companies – this involvement can range from a full-time management position to being an active board member.
The Slate Capital Group’s principals invest their own capital alongside their investors, who are mostly wealthy individuals and family offices. As such, our capital is patient, and we are comfortable with much longer holding periods than typical private equity funds.
