Investment Approach
In evaluating the potential value creation of any prospective opportunity, we look for the following general characteristics:
- A highly experienced management team with a proven track record of success
- Industry dynamics that support significant revenue and earnings growth
- Valuation metrics that fit the growth prospects of the opportunity
- A business model that is scaleable over time
- Our ability to add value through our strategic relationships and knowledge
Rock Creek Capital Partners seeks to partner with business owners and management teams with extensive experience and a strategic vision for creating shareholder value. We value management partners who share our commitment to highly ethical business practices and have a passion for building leading businesses.
Focused on long-term growth, we target investment opportunities with the following industry characteristics:
- attractive demographics
- highly fragmented with compelling long-term value propositions
- relatively recession resistant
- long-term sector growth
Rock Creek Capital Partners works closely with the management team to develop a long-term growth plan for the company, leveraging our investment team's considerable experience and resources. We actively work with each management team to execute the strategic plan and to enhance shareholder value by drawing on our extensive industry, private equity, and investment banking experience while seeking to provide assistance with the following:
- Developing and executing ongoing strategic plans and initiatives
- Identifying, structuring, and integration planning for acquisitions
- Financing growth of add-on investment opportunities or arranging bank facilities
- Assisting in senior management and board recruiting
- Realizing value through an IPO, sale, or recapitalization
We seek to play a leadership role in strategy development, team-building, growth initiatives, productivity enhancements and organizing subsequent financings and/or acquisition financings. Throughout every phase of the investment process, from due diligence to value creation to ultimate realization, we seek to work in partnership with each management team to ensure that the collective skills of all parties are being utilized and the interests of all parties remain aligned.
