Investment Criteria

Investments are generally made in the following types of situations:

Management-Led Buyouts and Recapitalizations: Newhaven invests in companies that are undergoing ownership transition, subsidiary divestitures or partial recapitalizations. We are comfortable with both control and minority investments. Newhaven will invest in partnership with other like-minded private equity firms.

Growth Capital: Newhaven will pursue investment opportunities in later-stage growth companies where there is a proven business model and strong management. These companies typically have a vision for growth, but need capital and a sophisticated financial partner to help them reach the next level.

Turnarounds & Restructurings: Newhaven will commit capital and resources in certain situations to facilitate the turnaround or restructuring of a business. We are comfortable with ‘turnaround’ investing when we believe in the fundamentals of the relevant market and the company's individual investment prospects.

We invest in companies with defensible market positions, well-developed and sustainable brand equity, opportunities for growth through strategic or operational initiatives, which are led by strong management teams. We seek enterprise values that range from $50 to $500 million. Leading and arranging capital for time-sensitive transactions requires the complex and creative capital structures that Newhaven provides. While we invest in a variety of industries, we have expertise in: Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Mining, Real Estate, Services and Media.
