and Adapt to Change”

  • Bring to Bear all W&Co. Resources to Execute Strategic Vision

Wasserstein & Co. employs a unique approach to leveraged buyout investing: executing upon a strategic vision to help businesses anticipate and adapt to change.   It is our goal to help lead portfolio companies through elemental forces of change, whether as a result of regulatory, technological or financial factors, or arising out of globalization, the natural pursuit of economies of scale, or otherwise.   We have extensive experience in helping companies anticipate and react appropriately to the secondary and tertiary effects of change on a business.   Our analysis involves a detailed evaluation of a company’s fundamental strengths and vulnerabilities, and the current and future competitive environment in which it operates and will operate.   An outgrowth of this process is the formulation of a strategic vision based upon the forces of change that will come to bear upon the business in question.   Wasserstein & Co. then utilizes its full resources in the execution of this strategic vision, which may involve supplementing management or other personnel, establishing joint ventures or other business relationships with key partners, establishing more efficient or appropriate capital structures, or completing strategic acquisitions.  

The Firm’s resources include networks of relationships with business leaders resulting from our historical investments across a wide range of industries, as well as the financial and operational expertise of our team of seasoned professionals.   Wasserstein & Co. also benefits from its heritage as an integral part of the historical Wasserstein Perella & Co. investment banking firm, and our continued association with our former colleagues from that firm, many of whom are now leaders at other leading financial institutions.
