Wasserstein & Co. - W&Co. Overview

Overview

Wasserstein & Co. is a leading independent private equity and investment firm, focused on middle-market leveraged buyout investments and related investment activities. We seek to create value by:

investing in companies with the ability to capitalize on change; and
partnering with outstanding management teams to execute a strategic vision to exploit change

Our investment philosophy results in significant value creation through organic earnings growth. It is always our goal to drive investment returns by working with our executive teams to create earnings expansion, rather than through excessive leverage or other financial structuring.

All of our partners invest their own capital in each of our transactions. This alliance of interests reinforces our preference for investments in companies with both sound fundamental business platforms and compelling organic growth opportunities.

We have developed extensive experience in a wide variety of media, consumer products and other buyout transactions. We target investments of between $30 million and $150 million. We focus primarily on equity investments but have invested successfully across the entire capital structure spectrum, taking positions in preferred stock and various debt securities with compelling risk / return profiles.

Wasserstein & Co. also manages a significant portfolio of debt and equity securities and other investments on behalf of our stockholders and other investors.

We welcome you to our website and invite you to learn about our approach to delivering outstanding risk-adjusted returns for our investors, portfolio companies and employees.
