Arlon Capital Partners
Benefits of Private Capital
Arlon Capital Partners is distinct from many private equity funds in that we can invest from a permanent base of capital. As a result, Arlon's investment horizon is determined by the merits of the opportunity and the needs of our management partners, not by the life of a fund. This often makes Arlon the preferred partner of management teams. The benefits of investing from a permanent base of capital include:
Appropriate Investment Horizon. Unlike typical funds with an investment horizon limited to the life of the fund, Arlon can approach each investment with an indefinite time horizon. This often makes Arlon an attractive partner to management teams and other shareholders.
Flexibility. Unencumbered by the restrictions inherent in typical funds, Arlon can invest across multiple industries and at various stages of a company's life cycle.
Creativity in Structuring. Unlike typical funds, Arlon is not restricted to investing in particular capital structures. This allows us to structure our investments creatively, thereby providing our partners with innovative solutions to their equity needs, aligning the interests of management and investors and maximizing value.
Ability to Invest in Cyclical Businesses and Be Contrarian. Arlon's capital comes from Continental Grain Company, a company with two centuries of experience in partnering with excellent management teams operating cyclical businesses. Our permanent base of capital allows us to be contrarian - investing in businesses when others will not - while having the ability to withstand cyclical downturns.
