The Four Pillar approach is an organizational structure of how we operate our private equity firm today. This structure affects how we:
- Identify opportunities through our deal-sourcing model.
- Assess opportunities and manage risk.
- Collaborate with companies to execute fundamental operational initiatives.
- Consider exit strategies beginning the day the deal closes.
The HKW Four Pillar approach requires each team to function in coordination on every investment. Roles are specialized within each pillar, working seamlessly together. It is always about the team.
Our focus is the Manufacturing, Distribution, and Business Services sectors.
Our mission is to partner with talented management teams to build and grow companies. Meet the companies with whom we have partnered.
