Ropart Asset Management Funds

About The Fund

Ropart Asset Management Funds, operating under the name Seven Point Equity Partners, is a private equity firm with a focus on achieving superior long-term capital appreciation for its investors through operational and financial resources. They target control equity investments in companies, mainly in North America, in industries where they foresee long-term growth outpacing the general economy. Their investment strategy is fundamental industry analysis, followed by acquiring businesses with strong market positions and potential for improved performance. Seven Point's operational and capital support aims to enhance growth rates and profitability, enabled by non-institutional sources of capital which allow patient investments over extended periods. They maximize returns based on a multiple of invested capital versus short-term rates of return. Their differentiation lies in the firm's belief in human capital, long-term thinking, and a contrarian value perspective, which involves investing in temporarily out-of-favor sectors, complex situations, or businesses facing short-term challenges. They emphasize risk management by controlling value creation factors and maintaining partnerships built on integrity and respect. Seven Point's investment team, led by Tom Burchill and Mark Kammert, and their experienced Operating Partners, drive operational improvement, focusing on clear plans to increase revenues, improve profits, and elevate ROI. Their broad investment mandate targets equity investments of $15 million to $100 million in middle-market companies predominantly in North America with EBITDA ranging from negative to $30 million and revenues between $25 million and $300 million. Their sectors of interest include industrial manufacturing and distribution, particularly in medical products, building products, aerospace products, electrical components, and highly engineered industrial products, alongside business services. Besides scaling businesses, Seven Point is committed to community betterment through the Seven Point Foundation, which invests in community projects where their companies operate. Since their first acquisition in 2014, Seven Point has executed its strategy through numerous business transformations, establishing a robust investment track record.
