Philosophy

The cornerstone of our investment philosophy is to build high quality growth businesses in partnership with management. At Kilmer Capital we believe that every successful investment must start with a clear understanding and alignment of all of our partners’ objectives and interests.


Equity Capital - We invest only equity capital and our returns are driven by the growth in value of our portfolio companies so our economic interests are perfectly aligned with those of our operating partners.

Patient Investment Horizon - We provide patient capital emphasizing long term value creation thereby allowing management to pursue ambitious growth objectives. Our portfolio company relationships are demonstrably longer than those of our competitors.

Flexible Structures - We are flexible when structuring a transaction to ensure that each portfolio company obtains the resources needed to achieve its full potential. We generally employ less financial leverage than most private equity firms.

Independent - We are an independently owned and managed investment fund so there are no potential conflicts of interest at any time throughout the investment cycle.

Perspective - Our experience is deeply rooted in operations and we possess a first hand understanding and appreciation of the challenges of building a business across economic cycles.
