Brookside Equity Partners

Brookside Equity Partners LLC is a private equity firm. They look to invest in later stage companies across industries with a proven management team. They focus on long term private equity investments, including direct control investments, majority or minority co-investments alongside of other investment firms, and, on a selective basis, investments in private funds or special situations. We emphasize LBO transactions, but we will consider a limited number of growth capital investments in partnership with other value-added investors. Our philosophy is to partner with excellent management teams and co-investors to help create long term value. Brookside Equity Partners is not a traditional fixed-term private equity fund. Our capital, which is primarily family capital, is evergreen, patient and flexible. Our investment horizons are determined by the needs of the businesses in which we invest, rather than by pre-determined investment periods. This flexibility distinguishes us from other private equity groups which may seek investment realizations based on fund raising cycles rather than fundamental business reasons. Management teams can take comfort in the fact that exit decisions will be made in partnership with management and we will not be forced to exit an investment at an inopportune time. In addition, investments are structured with what we believe to be a conservative capital base and term that is appropriate for the company in which we are investing. Brookside Equity Partners works closely with management teams to develop and execute strategic initiatives including new product introductions, geographic or channel expansion, acquisitions and efficiency improvements. We are proud of our successful, long-term investment track record.
