Our Focus
Financial Services
Financial services investment opportunities include the full spectrum of business models involving the bearing of risk and the management of capital. Our firm tends to focus our investments on less cyclical areas where risk-adjusted returns can be more consistently attractive.
Healthcare
Healthcare is a cornerstone of DC’s strategy. The firm’s deep knowledge creates a unique perspective on the underlying currents that drive the healthcare industry today, as well as provides access to opportunities to partner with exceptional management leaders.
Information Services
Technology has dramatically transformed the way people and companies communicate, share information and conduct business. DC capitalizes on the strong growth in information services and technology by investing in a variety of dynamic growth industries that use software, services, proprietary information and networks to help companies more efficiently conduct business with each other.
Growth Business Services
Since the firm’s founding, DC has pursued building companies that provide an essential business growth service to other businesses. DC selectively engages these growth business opportunities in areas with strong growth and solid underlying fundamentals. Current growth business investments include security alarm monitoring, business process outsourcing, logistics and distribution, and route-based services.
