Our
Investment
Focus
AJI invests in middle-market businesses offering products and services in a diverse set of industries; we bring a differentiated and situation-specific approach that leverages our deep experience across consumer, and industrial categories as well as services.
We invest in strong businesses to help them grow, by offering management resources, financial stability, and access to a diverse portfolio of sister companies.
An
Expanding Portfolio
We are continually and actively seeking to expand our AJI family of companies.
Our priority has always been to invest in industries with structural attractiveness and in companies with a strong position within those industries to create sustainable value. We partner with companies that care about their employees and communities, where they remain passionate about the opportunities their business offers to deliver both profits and positive contribution to society.
Attractive
Long-term
Fundamentals
We are looking for companies that compete in market segments with attractive long-term fundamentals and that have a solid business and a sustainable competitive advantage.
Healthy
Profitable Growth
We are seeking to engage with companies to support their profitable growth with a patient long-term investment horizon;
the ideal candidates to join our group are companies that have proven themselves over time and are looking for a partner with extensive experience in working with founders, families and corporate sellers that are committed to grow with their continued involvement.
The
Right Ownership
Context
Our ownership stake varies across our portfolio of companies and is tailored to every specific situation; we can operate in the context of meaningful minority positions and where majority ownership remains highly concentrated among owners who are interested in a gradual transition.
While we will consider being the buyer of a business, our ideal circumstance is one in which a still-committed team feels that outside capital, experience and support can help the company pursue an accelerated growth opportunity while allowing for a partial liquidity event.
