Strategy

Inter-M underwrites the equity portion of a transaction, both directly, and through a core group of associated family offices, on a deal-by-deal and no-fee basis, allowing its’ partner clients the opportunity to co-invest in its’ equity transactions. This model reflects our preference for investment discretion, with many high-net-worth investors themselves being hands-on business owners. When debt financing is required to structure an optimum transaction, we can arrange it through a wide array of leading financial institutions with which Inter-M maintains close relationships. Although far from formulaic, Inter-M’s private equity transactions share some basic features. Once we make an investment, we work with the company’s management to revitalize the business, making it more productive, more competitive, and more profitable. We achieve this by, among other things, streamlining operations, investing in future growth, and growing the top and bottom lines for the benefit of all stakeholders, including employees, customers, suppliers, and stakeholder communities in which the business operates.

Inter-M approaches business and investments as industrialists. We work closely with the management teams of companies that have strong business franchises, attractive growth prospects, leading market positions, and the ability to generate superior returns. We stay deeply involved in the operations of our investee companies, providing them with substantial resources over an average investment period of three to five years.
