About The Fund

Highlander Partners, founded in 2004, is an investment firm that primarily targets small to mid-size private companies with sales ranging from $10 to $500 million. They manage over $600 million in capital, dedicating more than $500 million to direct private equity and mezzanine investments mainly in the United States and Central Europe. Expanding their global footprint, they established an office in Warsaw, Poland, in 2008 to oversee Central European investments. Highlander Partners is industry-agnostic but has carved out a niche in healthcare, food products, basic materials, consumer products, and manufacturing sectors. Typically, they invest between $10 million and $50 million, though they have the capacity to underwrite larger equity transactions up to $100 million under certain conditions. Their mezzanine financing investments tend to be in the range of $10 to $25 million. Highlander Partners positions itself as a private equity firm focused on value creation through flexible, unbureaucratic strategic thinking and a collaborative approach. They emphasize a partnership with operationally and financially oriented people worldwide to enable the portfolio companies and management teams to realize their professional and personal financial objectives. Their investment philosophy revolves around creativity, innovation, and an analytical approach to investments, striving for financial success without compromising their core values and guiding principles. With a principal focus on making majority control, direct private equity investments, Highlander Partners invests in outstanding management teams and companies poised for growth.
