Investment Strategy
KCP seeks to achieve superior returns for its investors through pursuing a majority position with significant equity participation by existing management in successful, established businesses. We employ an investment strategy that focuses on the quality of the company and the industry, the growth prospects of both, and the management team in place. Our strategy of investing our time, managing a limited number of high-quality investments, allows us to dedicate more attention to the unique needs and opportunities of each business, developing a cohesive strategic plan with management by focusing on and dedicating resources to those areas identified as offering the greatest growth opportunities and return on investment.
Our approach provides a dedicated 2-3 person team to every investment. At KCP, we identify opportunities in the lower middle market to create value by guiding companies through a process of development and maturation, followed by significant scaling of the companies, creating a legacy and lasting value for current and future stakeholders.
Investment Focus
We focus on industries in which we have direct management experience and unique relationships, where we have been active and our expertise and longstanding relationships provide access to attractive opportunities for us to add value.
KCP has a broad investment strategy that evolves with industry trends and economic cycles and is often thematic in the approach. The industry segments and subsegments noted are a representative example of select industries of interest at this time.
