Transforming businesses through strategic guidance, operational support, and capital resources
Seven Point Equity Partners is a thesis-driven, value-oriented, and operationally-focused private investment firm. Our mission is to achieve exceptional returns for our investors by transforming businesses through a highly active investment approach. We embrace complex situations and invest in companies that can benefit from the strategic, operational, and capital resources we bring as a partner.
“Opportunity is missed by most people because it’s dressed in overalls and looks like work.” —Thomas Edison
Investment Approach
We develop macro investment theses around specific industry sectors of interest in North America that have strong, structural demand tailwinds, and our talented Operating Partners help us pursue opportunities within those sectors. We target industries we know and understand, and where long-term growth opportunities exist because of industry cycles, macroeconomic trends, or changes in industry structure. We invest only when we and our Operating Partners can develop clear and achievable plans for fundamental commercial and operational improvement, and where the ability to drive value creation is heavily weighted toward company-specific factors we can largely control.
Core Values
Seven Point has been built around core values that have not changed since the firm’s founding more than a decade ago: a belief in people and talent development, integrity, partnership, and humility. We have a strong work ethic and focus our attention in a sustained way on understanding in detail the dynamics of each business in which we invest. We take a long-term perspective and patiently support our executive teams in decisions and strategies to build businesses for sustained success.
Investment Criteria
We evaluate investment opportunities in a variety of sectors, because the attractiveness of investments in particular industries can vary widely over time. We have broad investment capabilities, typically targeting control equity investments of $50 million to $150 million in North American middle market companies. Add-on acquisitions to our existing investment platforms may be smaller in size. Working closely with our Operating Partners, we are currently focusing on manufacturers of military and commercial aerospace and defense components, building products, medical products and other highly-engineered industrial products.
Operating Partners
Seven Point’s Operating Partners provide the catalyst for operational transformation and fundamental value creation at the businesses in which we invest. Our approach marries the talents of world class operating executives with the needs of businesses that are often constrained in resources and vision.
