Investment thesis

Littlejohn is an integrated private equity and credit investor targeting middle-market industrial and services companies in North America. Drawing on more than 25 years of sector experience, the firm pursues an 'all-weather' strategy designed to perform across market cycles, deploying capital through three synergistic strategies: private equity (buyouts and carve-outs), credit for sponsor and non-sponsor backed companies, and capital solutions typically structured as equity to bridge gaps in a company's capital structure. The firm partners closely with families, founders and management teams, pairing investment expertise with integrated operational support to scale businesses, drive operational change and expand margins.
