We are currently investing Fund IV, backed by institutional investors and Bedford principals. Our investment strategy is to invest alongside management in established companies that are leaders in their respective markets. We look carefully at the following attributes:
Established cash positive business, possessing a sustainable competitive advantage and proprietary products or services with proven market acceptance.
Strong core management team with a significant financial commitment and willingness to partner with Bedford in an open and productive manner to build value.
Important market position and the potential for market leadership in defensible market niches.
Stable and established industry with strong growth prospects, either organically or through acquisitions.
Identifiable exit strategy, typically within 4 to 7 years.
We are equity investors but can creatively structure our investments in the form of debt or other types of securities. We initially invest between $5 million and $15 million in platform companies that ideally offer additional equity investment opportunities over time. We are able to complete much larger transactions. Typically, our initial investee companies will have EBITDA in the range range of $5 million - $15 million. We prefer to be majority investors. However, we will acquire significant minority interests where we are aligned with management and other shareholders.
