ACP’s current portfolio consists of private equity and venture investments, all based upon the common themes of strong management and strong value propositions. We work actively with our portfolio companies – strategically positioning their businesses to accelerate success and enhance ultimate returns. We look for companies where management understands underlying business fundamentals and knows that a strong cash platform allows strategic growth initiatives to be well executed.

We particularly believe that successful investments in private companies result from continually keeping sight of the ultimate exit, whether that be from a sale to an identified group of strategic buyers or a public offering. Combinations of companies create synergistic value, and as such, we look for enhancements to companies through transaction alignment. To acquire a divesting non-core corporate asset or division and combine it with an asset that is in harmony with the platform’s base business is the ultimate success. Such a combination creates value through clarity and efficiency.

Our advisory group helps us uncover hidden opportunities that can be enhanced with the capital – financial or intellectual – necessary to consummate medium-term exits. For example, the task of managing a restructuring assignment brings a unique opportunity to view potential value from inside the company that might otherwise not be seen.

Our funding is pledged from a series of sources that include high-net-worth individuals and alliances with venture, private equity and alternative funds.
