Fox Paine & Company was founded by Saul Fox in 1996. In partnership with management, Fox Paine specializes in providing solutions and capital for management buyouts, public-to-private transactions and growth capital investments. The firm participates exclusively in friendly, cooperative transactions with the aim of creating tangible value for all parties involved. The firm has invested over $1.6 billion of capital since inception.

Central to the way the firm does business is the belief that the problem-solving, hard work and long term focus produces opportunity and, ultimately, attractive returns on capital. The firm thrives 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.

In 1998, Fox Paine completed fundraising for Fox Paine Capital Fund I, an investment fund with $500 million of investor commitments. In 2001, the firm successfully raised Fox Paine Capital Fund II, a $1.0 billion investment fund, exceeding its original $750 million target.
