The Anderson Group — Aligning with both management and intermediary stakeholders to build lasting value

Committed to forging business alliances

A hallmark of The Anderson Group’s investment strategy is a rigorous dedication to align our interests with those of management to create a mutually beneficial long-term business partnership. Because we are in the unique position of investing our own capital, we do several things other private equity firms often cannot. For instance, we have an unlimited investment time horizon; thus, we do not require a defined exit strategy from our investments and our management teams do not have to worry about the business being sold every 3-5 years.

Instead, we encourage our management teams to focus on building long-term value at their businesses. Additionally, because we are not an institutional fund, we are able to structure our transactions in a way that ensures management gains a significant portion of equity on terms identical to those of The Anderson Group. Finally, investing our own capital negates the approval/investment committee processes, which in turn allows us to deliver greater certainty to close on a shorter timetable.
