• Senior executives seeking a financial partner to acquire or invest in a company or sector in which they have intimate knowledge and a demonstrated track record of value creation

Attributes of Target Banyan Investments:

• Companies that are important to their customers and enjoy strong industry/competitive positions
• Complex situations including management transition, diverging shareholder objectives and structured/hybrid junior capital requirements
