The Patriarch platform is a vertically integrated distressed private equity firm with robust in-house operational turnaround expertise. Patriarch Partners, LLC ("Patriarch"), founded in 2000, was built upon a proprietary patented financial model designed to manage and monetize the distressed portfolios of financial institutions. Patriarch has since evolved into a global investment firm that concentrates on direct investments in distressed businesses, managing funds with over $7 billion of equity and secured loan assets with equity investments in more than 70 companies, and controlling interests in approximately two-thirds of these.
Patriarch focuses on the acquisition of undervalued companies where time, capital and sound strategy can rescue a business and restore value, often preserving U.S. jobs while simultaneously providing demonstrated returns to investors. Patriarch believes that making money and making the world a better place are not mutually exclusive concepts. The firm offers a peerless approach that combines innovative financial models, restructuring techniques and the operational expertise necessary to rebuild businesses facing complex situations.
Challenging conditions often mean improving operations from the ground up; they require equal concentration and adeptness between financial engineering and operations. An expanded global reach is critical and Patriarch has acquired manufacturing facilities in nations where lower labor costs can offset downturns in the U.S. economy. Patriarch Partners Management Group, established in 2005, is a team of seasoned and connected global professionals strategically placed among portfolio companies to fortify management and to unearth and implement necessary efficiencies, new technologies and unique strategies.
