Investment thesis
Sun Capital focuses on investing in companies operating in growing markets where there are tangible opportunities for performance and operational improvement, spanning a broad range of industry verticals and deal structures. The firm places heavy emphasis on its operational capabilities to drive value creation. Add-on acquisitions are central to its strategy, enabling portfolio companies to expand into new product lines, geographies, and customer channels. Roughly half of all deals in the firm's history have been add-on acquisitions, and it actively seeks add-on opportunities for its current portfolio companies regardless of company size.
