GUIDING PRINCIPLES & PHILOSOPHY
We take a long-term view with our investments. Our general investment horizon is five to seven years, sometimes longer. We place an emphasis on execution of a clearly defined value-creation plan, encourage management to maintain tight focus, and motivate key employees with performance-based compensation tied to common goals. Our three guiding principles are: 
FOCUS:
Our Exclusive focus on Consumer Products allows us to bring operating expertise and deep industry relationships to support our companies. We add more than just capital - we add value.
INTEGRITY:
We regard fairness, transparency, passion, and follow-through as key ingredients to success. We say what we do, and do what we say.  
RESULTS:

We partner with management in many ways to create value:

  • Provide management with extraordinary autonomy and support them with top-flight resources - human talent, regulatory insight, customer POS data, production processes, product innovation ideation, and technological expertise among others.

  • Offer substantial analytic, strategic, financial and operating support to help implement fundamental improvements in sales, marketing, operations and financial controls.

  • Invest for growth. We provide capital for internal growth and add-on acquisitions
