Radius Partners LLC has formed strategic relationships with top institutional investors, private equity and hedge funds to enable them to partner with Radius in special situations that may be complementary to their investment and fund parameters. The Radius fund structure allows these investors an opportunity to make investments in specific opportunities on an “Opt-In” basis.
Radius’ focuses on special situation transactions, growth capital and the acquisition and recovery of impaired middle markets distressed companies. Our operational and financial expertise is specifically designed to assist and enhance the businesses opportunities.
When focusing on distressed opportunities, many traditional turnaround/restructuring managers rely heavily on financial or balance sheet restructuring to effect a more favorable situation, Radius employs a more comprehensive approach, utilizing operational and strategic leadership skills in additional to financial restructuring in order to enhance, grow and return a portfolio company to stability (and profits). Successfully implemented, such a strategy produces superior returns to investors. Most current acquirers of troubled companies (and/or their distressed debt) focus on companies that have impaired balance sheets but are otherwise stable. Many businesses in this segment represent an opportunity for acquirers who have the skills and experience to address all of the balance sheet, functional and operational turnaround issues in a comprehensive manner.
We believe Radius has a superior approach to special situation transactions due to our financial and operational backgrounds and access to top talent. Our firm has been structured to assist any type of company in broad areas of expertise from financial to outsourcing domestic and internationally. Radius has access to management talent drawn from former CEOs, Private Equity Sponsors, Investment Bankers and partners of major legal, operational and financial consulting firms. Radius’ partners have collectively raised over eight billion dollars in the debt and equity securities, bought and sold over 100 companies, performed corporate holding company breakups and turned around under-performing & distressed companies. We believe that this depth of experience sets Radius apart from other private equity groups... While there are a growing number of hedge funds investing in special situations, very few have Radius’ expertise, operational experience or methodology.
Radius focuses primarily on target companies that are privately/closely held with annual revenues from $50,000,000 to $300,000,000. They have established technologies with viable existing products and stable or growing markets. Deal flow will comes from a variety of sources, most importantly from Radius network of relationships around the country, Radius affiliates, the lending groups of commercial banks, investment banks, and other private equity funds. While Radius places an emphasis on North America, worldwide opportunities will be selectively considered.
