Marin Investments

Over the years Marin’s private equity investments have been in a variety of different areas. The key criteria have always been to invest in opportunities that have discernable, sustainable competitive advantages that are operated by a quality management team. This has led us into a number of different and interesting areas of business but we have always attempted to invest with a core management group that we felt had a firm understanding of their business space. By extension, this has generally precluded us from investing directly in early-stage or start-up opportunities. These investing criteria also apply to our investments in real estate opportunities and the public markets. We pride ourselves on the various partnerships that we have forged over the years with successful real estate and money management professionals. By combining our financial commitment and generalized business perspective with the skills of our operating partners we have been able to repeatedly yield an overall financial and operating success that far exceeds what either party could have achieved on their own.
