Investment philosophy

GCP believes capital is increasingly becoming a commodity for exceptional management teams and companies. Therefore, GCP was founded on a core belief that capital needs to be combined with deep industry expertise, hands-on strategic value creation methodologies and partnerships based on transparency, trust and integrity. Through this powerful combination, business owners and company management can partner with the GCP team with the goal of transforming their businesses and generating superior returns over the course of an investment and share in the value creation.

We seek opportunities that present near-term and long-term growth dynamics for target companies and markets served. We focus on accelerating organic growth through internal initiatives, while seeking strategic acquisitions where and when applicable, to boost value creation. We also begin developing a clear exit strategy at an early stage of our investments, ensuring that all of our efforts along the way are consistent with our goal of achieving maximum value for our investors when an exit occurs. Lastly, our returns are driven by strategic value creation and do not rely on financial engineering or excessive leverage to drive returns.

Investment Strategy

With over 40 combined years of continued engagement in our target markets, we use proactive processes to identify proprietary investment opportunities to which GCP can add immediate and long term value. GCP pursues companies that have the potential to be leaders in their sectors, giving special attention to opportunities where we can combine companies simultaneously to focus on creating market leaders.
