Philosophy / Overview
All of the NewSpring Capital funds operate according to a common culture of core values, principles, and disciplines. Foremost among those tenets is a commitment to disciplined, analytical investing combined with operational expertise. Five of the team’s eight partners have previously served as CEOs of operating companies.
The Principals' investment decisions are based on a detailed risk/return analysis and a performance orientation towards compensation. The funds share a complementary investment approach and methodology, enabling each fund’s investment team to share investment opportunities, internal expertise, and professional networks.
Other core tenets of NewSpring Capital include: a commitment to operating dedicated pools of capital with specific market and investment objectives; frequent and open communication with portfolio companies and limited partners; a unified culture that fosters a consistent, disciplined approach to investing; dedicated investment professionals skilled in financial analysis and operations; shared relationships, resources and networks across all funds.
In addition, NewSpring Capital’s investment professionals work hard to: align incentives among management teams, investors, and operators; creatively structure transactions in a capital-efficient manner; conduct extensive due diligence and reference checks; and bring value-added benefits as investor partners that are above and beyond the capital itself.
NewSpring Capital’s Principals, leveraging their previous experience managing and advising growth companies, will actually work with the senior management teams of each portfolio company to build and enhance value via:
- Strategic guidance
- Corporate governance best practices
- Building out management teams (network of executives and recruiters)
- Client and partner introductions
- Merger and acquisition advice
- Relationships with additional equity and debt capital sources
- Creating and evaluating exit opportunities
Overall, NewSpring Capital’s experienced and skilled investment professionals aim to partner with outstanding entrepreneurial management teams to build companies that are leaders in their fields.
