WAML invests between $10 million and $125 million in businesses with enterprise values of $10 million to $500 million and can invest substantially more by partnering with strategic co-investors or through co-investments from our limited partners. We focus our investments in the healthcare, technology, media and telecommunications, and business products and services industries. Our capital supports a range of transactions, from buyouts and growth equity to recapitalizations and acquisitions.
Benefits of Wingate as a Partner
The WAML Advantage
WAML utilizes WAML’s extensive global network to provide its portfolio companies with a wide array of benefits, including access to new customer/vendor relationships, introductions to potential acquisition targets, and assistance with implementing improved information systems.
Flexible Mandate
Our flexible investment mandate gives us the ability to act as a control or non-control investor and to structure our investments as a combination of equity and subordinated debt securities. This flexibility is differentiated in that it provides WAML with the ability to structure investments that are specific to the needs of each opportunity.
