Family Office Investors (FOI) has been investing in private companies since 1999. We are long term investors focused on value creation for shareholders and managers.  Our flexible investment period allows us to focus on collective, longer term mutually beneficial objectives.

We create a growth-oriented climate that results in long-term equity value creation, capital appreciation and shared objectives for the business and management team.  We work with management to create a strategic plan that creates economic value for the investors and management shareholders through stock ownership, and employees through profit participation.

We create value primarily by focusing on growing profits which is applied to new products, services, or geographies, or to reduce leverage absent a better use. Profitable growth also results in a higher valued (higher EBITDA multiple) company. We also consider add-on acquisitions that broaden product diversity, geographic breadth or strengthen the organizational structure.

We use conservative capital structures and follow an investment philosophy that creates equity appreciation in well-managed portfolio companies. Our objective is to achieve above average, risk-adjusted returns in a low leverage environment allowing our portfolio companies to succeed in poor economic cycles, grow organically in good times and make opportunistic add-on acquisitions.
