Institutional InsvestorsOUR STRATEGY American Pacific's goal is achieving high returns without high risk, an imbalance that can only be achieved in markets that are not "efficient." We strive for superior returns; however, our first priority is the protection of capital and superior performance in an adverse market. American Pacific's philosophy is to identify companies whose core management teams have demonstrated superior leadership and management abilities over others in their industries. We also place great weight on management's long-term vision and ability to execute its plans. Though we follow a rigorous due-diligence process before making any investment, we ultimately look for a combination of management talent, vision, the ability to execute plans and other intangible qualities that make the difference between a good company and a great one. Upon investing in each company, the American Pacific team, including its principals and staff, become readily accessible consultants to the company's management team, effectively becoming an extension of that management team. In the past, we have helped our portfolio companies plan their strategic directions, recruit main-level executives, recruit technical personnel, develop and execute acquisition and merger strategies, meet key customers and partners, and raise additional equity and debt capital. We have also provided our companies with the appropriate introductions to analysts and underwriters in anticipation of planned public offerings. We never charge fees to our investors; American Pacific assumes the same risk as our partners. We make money only make money if we do our job correctly. TYPES OF INVESTMENTS American Pacific's Investments include a wide array of industries, geographic markets, company sizes and stages of development.
Total investment in a given portfolio company may range from $1 million to $5 million. Typically, we are lead investors, often times leading a syndicate of multiple venture capital or strategic investors. Given our deep and long term relationships in the venture capital business, we can add value by bringing together many investors in a round of financing. |
