About Us
Edgewater is a sector focused, lower middle-market private equity fund.
Firm Overview
Edgewater Capital is a private equity firm focused on the acquisition of lower middle-market, performance materials companies. We are value-added investors, providing more to our portfolio companies than just capital. Through deep partnerships with management teams and knowledge developed through years of successful principal investing, we have the ability and know-how to cultivate, support and grow companies into market leaders. To support our investing thesis, Edgewater has developed an extensive team of highly talented Operating Partners that are instrumental to our companies' success. These Operating Partners bring tangible, pertinent industry experience often in the form of relevant, forward-thinking strategic guidance.
Edgewater we believes in entrepreneurial flexibility, while maintaining a disciplined investment approach that puts our integrity and fiduciary duty as professional investors above all else. Every company and transaction has unique qualities that can often distract potential investors from recognizing the value proposition of the opportunity. In comparison, because of our investment focus we regularly demonstrate our ability to adapt and persevere over difficult situations when we find a company that fits our criteria. Our successful implementation of a sector specific investment strategy in acquiring niche companies has enabled us to provide superior returns for our investors for over a decade.
Edgewater Capital Partners acquires companies with strong financial performance, tangible competitive advantages, and intriguing growth prospects. We have deep expertise and interest in performance materials companies, which we define as specialty chemicals, pharmaceuticals (and related products and industries), and specialty materials. Since our founding in 1982, Edgewater has had a rich history of acquiring niche manufacturers in these industries. We pride ourselves on adhering to sound investment and ethical principles in all Edgewater dealings. We expect the same business practices from our portfolio companies and believe commitment to these principles has been the foundation of our success.
