About The Fund

Argonne Capital Group is a closely-held private investment firm founded in 2003. They specialize in equity investments in a wide spectrum of middle market enterprises, across various industries, focusing on businesses with up to $750 million in sales. Their investment thesis revolves around acquiring and nurturing companies that will significantly benefit from Argonne's capital resources and their expertise, particularly in site selection, development, and financing of real estate assets. They partner with existing or identified management teams to chiefly acquire majority interests in cash flow positive entities. They have a keen interest in industries such as Restaurant, Retail, Manufacturing/Distribution, Real Estate, Healthcare, and New Energy. Argonne Capital Group targets entities with revenues ranging from $25 million to $750 million, EBITDA between $5 million and $75 million, and they are noted for equity investments of $10 million to $150 million. Their strategy extends beyond that of traditional private equity firms as they independently capitalize each investment, pursuing transactions with meaningful flexibility and without a predefined time horizon for ownership, which positions them as a preferred acquirer in unique deal situations. To date, Argonne has executed over 60 acquisitions, owns a portfolio that generates more than $1.8 billion in annual sales, and supports employment for over 15,000 people. With specialties in Acquisition, they possess extensive skills in merger and acquisition, leveraged buyout, corporate finance and real estate.
