investment

The Fund’s investment objective is to generate superior, risk-adjusted returns by capitalizing on the substantial illiquid market opportunities identified in the Southeast market among small, well-managed and profitable businesses; leveraging TVV’s proprietary sourcing strategy to capture highly-qualified targets in a fragmented, inefficient and overlooked market; and, applying time- tested LBO value-investing approaches to maximize investment returns.

Proprietary Sourcing Model

100% of TVV’s prior investments were achieved through direct, non-shopped sources at attractive multiples. TVV maintains a proprietary sourcing and tracking database of over ten thousand qualified prospects; has fine-tuned an efficient and effective lead generation, screening and diligence process; and, has established a market reputation for highly-customized “seller-friendly“ approaches that emphasize senior manager level interactions with sellers at every step of the process. 

Value-Investing Approach

Throughout its history, including the recent “boom and bust“ private equity market cycles, TVV Capital has maintained an unwavering commitment to “tried and true“ classic LBO value-investing.

Typically, TVV seeks to buy through non-competitive processes, effectively align management incentives, professionalize the organization, drive operating improvements, guide growth and expansion, apply prudent use of leverage, maintain a patient investment approach, and exit via a broad and systematic sales process.
