PRIVATE EQUITY: GROWTH CAPITAL INVESTMENTS

Structured, Private Investments In Both Public And Private Companies That Meet Specific Growth Criteria

Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors has been an active investor in private equity for over 15 years. Through a number of funds, we have completed numerous deals with both public and private companies in various forms, including secured debt, convertible preferred and direct equity investments.

Our private equity strategy assists owners of growth companies realize their full potential by providing flexible financing to help execute their expansion plans. We make structured, privately negotiated investments in profitable, growth companies. We are flexible in the level of ownership and form that our investments take in order to meet the needs of small business managers. As investors, we rely on strong management teams to execute the day-to-day business strategy.

Our private equity strategy does not involve providing traditional venture capital financing. We seek to be the first institutional capital raised by a company and to fully fund the capital needs precluding the need for additional investment. By the time we invest, the company should have demonstrated attractive financial performance.

In many cases, we develop relationships with management over several years before making investments. We finance expansion of the core business, add-on acquisitions and in select cases some shareholder liquidity.

We also invest in middle market leveraged transactions and management buyouts. These transactions are structured so as to protect the fund’s principal, while allowing the target company the flexibility needed to operate effectively and to de-leverage its balance sheet. For acquisition financings, we focus on the predictability and growth of cash flow. In these transactions, Kayne Anderson will act as the transaction sponsor or as a minority investor with liquidity rights.
