The RSTW principals have worked together for over ten years investing in excess of
$750 million in over 60 transactions throughout the United States. Capital is provided principally for leveraged acquisitions, recapitalizations and expansion capital. The principals and investment professionals of RSTW are knowledgeable of the ingredients necessary for the successful closing of time-sensitive transactions and have participated in transactions with most major financial institutions in the United States. Investments in individual operating companies typically range from $10 million to $30 million. Investments include positions as sole, lead, or participating investor. In all cases, RSTW takes a passive daily management role, but its principals work proactively with investment groups, owners and management teams of portfolio companies to develop overall corporate strategy. RSTW partners with its
portfolio companies to evaluate growth and expansion opportunities and RSTW is proactive in providing capital for such growth opportunities.
RSTW works with, and seeks investment opportunities from, a variety of sources. The principals and investment professionals have developed a substantial contact base throughout the private equity industry. Historically, investment opportunities have been derived from equity firms, individual investors, management teams, investment banking firms, senior lenders, consulting firms, business brokers, and accounting and legal firms.
RSTW provides prompt and professional responses to investment proposals. An initial indication of interest, along with preliminary pricing terms, is provided within a very short period. RSTW's investment flexibility allows creative financial structuring to meet the needs of a variety of transactions. Though the initial assessment of a potential investment can be performed with a relatively limited amount of information, a typical business plan submitted to RSTW includes an outline of the anticipated transaction, management team resumes, a company history and operational overview, marketing strategy, competitive market analysis, and five years of historical and projected financial information.
RSTW Investment Committee
The RSTW Investment Committee is comprised of the firm's four founding principals and, as a result, the decision making process is extremely efficient. The RSTW principals and investment professionals responsible for due diligence on a particular investment are also responsible for monitoring and managing the investment over time. Thus, portfolio company management teams, owners and sponsor groups benefit from the consistency of the people involved in each investment made by RSTW.
