How We Deliver Value

Tryon Street’s founders established a partnership in 2014 to seek, engage, acquire and consolidate businesses with synergistic growth strategies.

Our national equity team constructs portfolios company by company. We focus on two sources of alpha: companies that can compound returns and those that can improve returns, which we combine with an emphasis on valuation. Our insight into future returns is driven by deep, forward-looking fundamental research from our sector experts, who benefit from collaborating with Tryon Street’s investment resources.

We are nimble yet disciplined. Our flexible mandate allows us to customize solutions for companies and make control and control-like investments across every part of a company’s equity and debt capital structure. The Tryon Street investment team takes a complex look at the middle market and leverages several decades of combined investing experience through various market cycles in a broad range of old and new economy industries, to identify contrarian, value-oriented, and growth opportunities. We're focused on building partnerships with management teams, private owners/founders, and other stakeholders to drive long-term value creation through novel and complex transaction structuring, as well as detailed company-specific underwriting, operational acumen, and long-term strategic planning.

We approach partnership in its broadest and most transparent sense. Our focus includes bolstering management’s financial flexibility through creative structuring, supplying strategic resources to help fuel growth, and access to proprietary transactions. The Tryon Street team works hand-in-hand with management to create processes and infrastructure to ensure long-term organic growth, and to provide insight and leadership to help navigate an ever-changing commercial environment and an increasingly complicated capital markets landscape.

Relentless Professionalism

Tryon Street’s Middle Market Equity and Debt teams have an outstanding track record of closing deals on time and at the agreed upon terms. Our deep industry knowledge allows us to identify, advise on, and implement value creation strategies that maximize the likelihood of seller/partner success. We provide prompt decisions and detailed feedback while committing to collaboration and open, candid communication.

We take a respectful approach to a partnership building upon the solid foundation while upholding your company’s reputation, core values and culture.
