In partnership with management, Fox Paine specializes in providing solutions and capital for management buyouts, public-to-private transactions and growth capital investments. We participate exclusively in friendly, cooperative transactions with the aim of creating tangible value for all parties involved. Founded in 1997, our firm currently manages more than $1.5 billion, and our partner companies operate in over 30 countries.

Central to the way we do business is the belief that problem-solving, hard work and long term partnerships produce opportunity and, ultimately, return on capital. Rather than being daunted by multi-faceted and complex deals, we thrive on situations that require in-depth due diligence, thoughtful analysis and creative thinking to address issues and implement solutions. We draw on our team’s deep and diverse industry expertise and an extensive network of global contacts. Our objective is to identify investment opportunities that will—with patience and innovative problem-solving—yield superior, risk-adjusted returns.

We believe a strong, interactive, ongoing relationship with management, predicated on a thorough understanding of each business, is essential to realizing the full potential of each investment. We take pride in the analysis we make prior to our investments, and in our commitment to build upon relationships established during the diligence process. By doing so, we foster trust, mutual respect and an ability to quickly react to the needs of our portfolio companies.
