Blue Capital invests in middle-market companies with attractive opportunities to grow revenues and increase profits, then works hand in hand with effective management teams to drive dramatic performance improvements and generate superior investment returns.

This approach is based on skills gained from 65 years of previous experience at McKinsey & Company, the leading international consulting firm, and leading private equity firms such as Clayton, Dubilier & Rice and AEA Investors.

This strategy fits well with the changes in today’s private equity world characterized by full valuations, abundant capital competing for deals, and limited opportunities for leverage. In such a world, returns based primarily on financial engineering and multiple expansion are likely to be greatly reduced in comparison to recent history. More than ever, returns will be driven by the ability to drive real value through growth in sales and improved profitability.

Blue Capital believes it creates superior returns because of our:

	Disciplined focus on the attractive and underserved middle market. Blue Capital’s primary investment strategy is to invest in growth-oriented, middle-market buyout opportunities, with a secondary focus on middle-market companies offering modest growth but substantial profit improvement potential. We seek investment opportunities where our strategic and operational skills and intellectual capital will increase the probability of achieving attractive investment returns.
	Distinctive approaches to acquiring and adding value to middle-market deals. Our backgrounds make us uniquely suited to develop proprietary investment theses, provide us with a rich network of former clients who now look to Blue as a potential financial partner and talented managers we back in transactions, and enable us to add substantial strategic and operational value to our portfolio companies.
	Demonstrated ability to drive growth and value. The investment theses and resulting strategies we have helped implement at each or our portfolio companies have significantly added to the value of our companies. In every case, our management teams describe Blue as a key contributor to success.

Blue Capital’s principals have experience in a wide range of industries, with special expertise in health care and basic manufacturing.

We are a co-investor of choice for financial buyers when the situation requires sophisticated strategic or operational expertise, and/or when realizing the value from the investment will require substantial operational improvement and/or the development and implementation of growth strategies.

Blue Capital raised $112 million for its inaugural fund, Blue Capital Partners Fund, L.P. The Fund includes investments from 15 institutional investors as well as forty-eight senior executives.

Our diverse group of institutional investors includes public and private pension funds, university and foundation endowments, private equity "funds of funds", and financial institutions.
