Solutions

Our expertise, experience and resources can help you accomplish your objectives, whether they be related to ownership, growth, or other priorities.

Shareholder alignment is critical to a high-functioning organization, and this means keeping the economics (and risk) with those carrying the business forward. We can provide liquidity for legacy or retired partners and facilitate the transitioning of equity to up-and-coming leaders, ensuring the business stays vibrant and independent for as long as management desires.
Entrepreneurial investment franchises buried within bureaucratic organizations or with stifling owners may benefit from independence, via spinout, buyout or lift-out. This is a complex and sensitive maneuver, however, and successful execution typically requires expertise and capital. Over the past 20+ years we have helped multiple successful investment firms and/or teams get a fresh start.

SPINOUT

MBO

A partner with the resources to fund and advise smart strategic initiatives can help upgrade your capabilities, create forward momentum and drive economies of scale. We provide ideas, capital, connections and expertise for organic growth, M&A, key hires, infrastructure investment, etc.

Approach

Our partnership approach is based in sound philosophy but flexible in execution. There is no template; each of our partners’ unique needs and wants inform the relationship.

Ownership

We believe investment firms that are largely owned and led by their employees tend to be high performing and highly aligned with clients. Rosemont typically prefers to be a minority equity owner, helping management achieve its goals and participating right alongside management and staff.

Governance

We seek standard minority protections, but otherwise receive no disproportionate governance and no interest in running the day-to-day. We will share our views, but it is your company.

Structure

Our time horizon is truly indefinite; we invest balance sheet capital with no liquidity requirement. We prefer the alignment created as pro-rata, common equity shareholders, but can be flexible if our partners wish otherwise. Ultimately, we seek the best structure for each individual partner.
