Cerberus is a tenured investor in operational private equity, an approach where investment professionals, operating executives, functional specialists, and technology experts work closely together throughout the lifecycle of an investment. This collaboration helps identify and execute key operating initiatives, accelerate business plans, and drive long-term value creation.
For more than two decades, our team has applied this operationally-oriented approach to invest more than $16 billion of equity capital – acquiring controlling or substantial minority interests in 75 portfolio companies and completing more than 100 add-on acquisitions.1 Our strong operating bench and broad capital market knowledge and experience equips us to better pursue opportunities that we believe have the potential to benefit from operational and strategic initiatives. The team has developed substantial capabilities in a wide range of industries on a global basis with a focus on the following verticals:
- Consumer
- Healthcare
- Industrials
- Services
While Cerberus has found that any one of these company profiles can help drive a successful investment, our largest successes have been realized when multiple components of the above are executed during an investment.
