The core tenants of Centurion’s investment approach are:
Be Opportunistic:
Centurion is an opportunistic investor in companies and assets that can be built into platforms for growth. We seek situations where our operational expertise can be used to create value from business assets, including carve-outs of businesses, product lines acquisitions, distressed turnarounds, and early-stage financings. We seek to work with existing management teams, but also have deep access to a network of uniquely capable management talent. We also seek acquisitions to augment our current platform companies.
Be Engaged:
We believe in working closely with management to minimize execution risk, leverage other portfolio companies and relationships, and provide fresh insight from an outsider’s perspective. In order to best facilitate the relationship between Centurion and its operating companies, Centurion makes control and non-control investments in its operating companies. Centurion works with management teams to provide support for large opportunities or potential large issues, so the management team can focus on delivering its strategic objectives. Management ownership of equity is an important aspect of our investment approach.
Be Unconventional:
At Centurion, we cultivate an exciting, entrepreneurial environment that fosters growth through new “out-of-the-box” ideas. This culture permeates throughout our firm and our operating companies and drives innovation to unlock full value potential. With Centurion’s support, this attitude creates momentum that has transformed markets and turned overwhelming barriers into immense opportunities.
