We have followed a proven and consistent investment strategy, generating superior returns for investors and establishing TorQuest as a partner of choice for management teams, lenders, and advisors.
We invest primarily in the Canadian mid-market, which is highly attractive for private equity investing. Our nationwide relationships, local market knowledge, and strong reputation provide us with an advantage.
We believe in building value through strategic and operational excellence. We seek opportunities where a fundamentally sound business can be enhanced and where our capital and our expertise can be agents of positive change. These opportunities frequently begin with corporate carve-outs or entrepreneurial transition.
We don't make investments simply on the basis of a financial model. We spend significant time and effort developing a full understanding of the levers of value creation and risk mitigation in a prospective investment, leading to a unique and proprietary investment thesis.
While we have invested in a wide range of situations, the principals of TorQuest have deep experience in creating value through corporate carve-out situations in both Canada and the United States.
We believe private equity investors can create value without excessive leverage and financial risk.
Our managers are the lifeblood of our investments. They are the best in their industries. We support them to the fullest and work closely with them to create value. TorQuest currently has 12 investment professionals and 7 portfolio investments, allowing us to focus substantial time and effort on each one.
We don’t believe in Boards composed entirely of private equity investors. We seek out proven experts from our industries to help us build great companies.
We constantly monitor our industries to understand how and when we should exit. Our companies’ exit strategies are inextricably linked to their growth strategies.
