Black Diamond Capital Partners

About The Fund

Black Diamond Capital Partners I, LP is a specialty private equity firm anchored in insurance sector investments primarily within the United States and Bermuda. Established in 2005, the firm has $72 million in total capital commitments and zeroes in on significant value-creation opportunities in its investments. They focus on equity and equity-related securities of private companies, leveraging their deep expertise in the insurance business. With a disciplined investment approach, Black Diamond targets insurance companies and brokers that either represent a solid platform for growth or exhibit a robust value creation potential. While they are open to assuming various roles in investment deals, whether as a lead investor or part of a syndicate, Black Diamond is keen on ensuring influential positions through controlling interests, key negative controls, board representation, or a combination of these strategies in non-controlling stakes. Beyond investment, Black Diamond partners with management teams, contributing their management expertise and implementing innovative operational strategies to bolster shareholder value. Headquarters moved from its original New York location to Austin, Texas, the firm thrives under the guidance of partners committed to discovering the finest investment opportunities within the insurance industry. Furthermore, Black Diamond Advisory Services (BDAS) offers advisory services pertaining to sales, purchases, or mergers of middle-market insurance companies, enhancing their footprint in the financial services landscape.
