Investment Strategy
Falconhead seeks to identify investment opportunities in the leisure/lifestyle sector, a large industry with sustained growth and attractive underlying trends. This sector is driven by favorable economic and demographic fundamentals, primarily based on a growing number of consumers with a higher standard of living who have more discretionary income and leisure time. The result has been a steady increase in spending on the discretionary consumer/recreational goods and services that denominate the leisure/lifestyle sector.
Within the leisure/lifestyle sector, Falconhead typically seeks potential companies with EBITDA ranging from $5 million to $30 million. Traditionally fragmented and under-developed, the leisure/lifestyle sector is highly populated with small, privately-owned companies. Such companies, which are often family-owned or entrepreneur-managed businesses, can benefit from Falconhead's strategic, operational and financial resources to capitalize on growth opportunities.
Falconhead takes an operating approach to value creation. Accordingly, Falconhead pursues an active approach to managing investments, working closely with existing management teams to grow businesses. In particular, Falconhead has a group of dedicated Operating Partners, all of whom have extensive experience in the leisure/lifestyle sector, who are intimately involved with each portfolio company. Such Operating Partners participate in Falconhead's due diligence, and post-closing, will work closely with the management team and typically serve on the company's board of directors. Falconhead's differentiated investment strategy generates significant value-add for its portfolio companies and strong returns for Falconhead's investors.
