Investment Philosophy

Key to PSVI’s investment philosophy is a desire to take a partnership approach with managements that have aligned interests and values. PSVI has a flexible investment approach aimed at ensuring it is viewed as a preferred partner. PSVI brings value beyond a simple financial transaction and prefers to work with ownership partners and management teams that view PSVI as a strategic partner and trusted advisor. We work to be a supportive and active resource to enhance the business strategy and maximize stakeholder value while leaving the day to day operations to management.

Each investment is independently structured and may accommodate the participation of a variety of seasoned individual investors with wide ranging experience as deemed appropriate. PSVI brings access to an extensive network of financial and business contacts with broad industry knowledge that can be valuable in the growth and strategic development of the business either as a partner investor or in an advisory board capacity.

PSVI uses a disciplined approach to review investments opportunities. Particular focus is given to:

  • Quality of management, employees, customers and suppliers
  • Industry fundamentals and growth potential
  • Capital structure and balance sheet
  • Competitive environment, availability of substitutes and barriers to entry
  • Sustainable competitive advantage through branding, quality, technology, proprietary production process, distribution or market channels, service, etc.
  • Cyclicality of business and corresponding sensitivities
  • Relative cost position and influence over costs
  • Ability to create value through operating efficiencies and synergies
