Our industry-specific knowledge, large network of deal sources and managers, and extensive capital markets and acquisition expertise are a valuable resource to management partners as they seek to build their businesses.

“Our role is to provide strategic advice and guidance, and to help identify acquisition opportunities, to help recruit additional key executive members, and to arrange debt financing for acquisitions.”

Bruce V. Rauner, Principal

All of GTCR's investments are positioned for significant growth and have the capital resources to realize their strategic objectives. Strategies for achieving these objectives are unique to each company, but often rely on a combination of acquisition and organic growth. We believe that a strategy of opportunistic acquisitions supplements and reinforces the strong internal growth of our portfolio companies. This approach enables these businesses to enter new markets rapidly, expand services, and build scale. Our team assists management in a variety of ways, including the:

• Formulation of strategy
• Development of the appropriate capital structure
• Identification and negotiation of acquisitions
• Raising additional capital
• Recruiting additional management team members
• Evaluation of liquidity opportunities

At GTCR, we are committed to providing management partners with the necessary capital, flexibility, and support to build their businesses and to achieve their long-term strategic objectives.
