Strategy
We believe in forming true partnerships with the owners and managers of the companies in which we invest. FPH invests in family and founder-owned businesses as well as businesses with significant management ownership.
We believe our experience and long-term orientation is particularly well suited to the following situations:
- Owners looking to diversify their wealth or plan for succession through the sale of 20-80% of their business
- Owners concerned about the legacy of the family business and the well being of their employees
- Owners interested in bringing on a financial and operating partner in connection with the acquisition of a complementary business
- Shareholders interested in selling a stake in their business over time through a series of transactions
- Managers looking for growth capital to enter new markets, make acquisitions or expand product lines
We believe FPH is an attractive partner due to:
- Our flexible, long-term family capital
- Our experience in a wide variety of industries
- Our commitment to preserving and enhancing company cultures
- Our willingness to invest additional capital in growth initiatives over time
- Our active, value-added engagement with portfolio companies
- Our conservative approach to leverage
- Our consideration of both minority and majority transactions
Our investment decisions are driven by a set of core values:
- Adhere to the highest standards of honesty, integrity and fair dealing
- Challenge ourselves and our partners to perform at the highest levels
- Form true partnerships with like-minded individuals
- Recognize and reward excellence
