The firm's private equity arm pursues control-oriented investments in cash flow-generating assets and asset-based businesses, applying an opportunistic, hands-on management approach across large, addressable markets including aviation, financial services, healthcare, real estate, retail and consumer, shipping, technology, telecommunications, business services, and energy, with a geographic focus on North America, the Caribbean, and Western Europe.
