Brookside Equity Partners makes controlling private equity investments in middle-market companies with $3 million to $15 million of EBITDA. Our philosophy is to partner with excellent management teams to help create long term value.

Brookside Equity Partners is not a fund. We invest our firm's own capital and our investment horizons are determined by the needs of the businesses in which we invest, rather than predetermined by outside limited partners. This flexibility distinguishes us from other private equity groups who may seek investment realizations based on fund raising cycles rather than fundamental business reasons. Management teams can take comfort in the fact that exit decisions will be made in partnership with management and we will not be forced to exit an investment at an inopportune time. In addition, investments are structured with a conservative capital base and term that is appropriate for the company in which we are investing.

Brookside Equity Partners works closely with management to develop and execute strategic initiatives including new product introductions, geographic or channel expansion, acquisitions and efficiency improvements. We are proud of our successful investment track record beginning with our inception in 1977. This long-term track record and the relationships we have developed over this period further differentiate us from other private equity groups.

In addition to directly sponsoring leveraged buyouts, Brookside Equity Partners will also invest with other investment firms in both majority and minority positions. Through these co-investments, Brookside Equity Partners is able to achieve better investment diversity.
