Our Approach

Why Regent is Different

Permanent, Internal Capital
Every investment is funded from Regent’s own balance sheet- we have no outside investors or LPs.

Opportunistic Investment Size
Equity checks from $5 million to $500 million+

Contrarian, Value-Driven Approach
We thrive in complexity- turnarounds, corporate carve-outs, restructurings, distressed situations and beyond. We tackle the type of deals that others shy away from

Embedded Operational Expertise
Our in-house operating partners and shared-services teams roll up their sleeves in finance, IT, legal and commercial functions to drive rapid, sustainable improvements.

Unrivalled Network & Resources
Decades of industry relationships across retail, industrial, technology and media give us one-of-a-kind access to deal flow, talent, and partnership opportunities.

Selective, No-Pressure Deployment
We move only when the opportunity meets our exacting standards- staying power through cycles ensures we never chase the market or force capital out the door.

Alignment & Transparency
Clear, straightforward communication and fully aligned incentives mean you always know how we’re thinking- and exactly why we’re acting.

Enduring Value Creation
We invest only where we believe our capital, insight, and operational edge can truly move the needle- and build great companies that last.

Speed, Certainty, Execution

Unlike other conventional private investment firms, Regent operates as a private holding company focused on recapitalizing, restructuring and transforming businesses over an indefinite time horizon. Regent is operationally focused and partners with management when approaching every acquisition. Our investment thesis is predicated on rapidly restoring fundamental value by strategically repositioning businesses and pursuing opportunities that can accelerate growth and innovation.

  • Our investment approach is streamlined, pragmatic and results-oriented.

  • We execute with speed and certainty from deal origination through close.

  • We focus on closing most transactions within 30 days of signing an initial Letter of Intent.

  • Most of our transactions have no financing contingencies. Regent often bridges the entire purchase price at closing.

  • We utilize creative financial and legal structures combined with pragmatic seller friendly contractual terms in order to find a solution that works for all constituencies.

  • We have significant experience in navigating complex transitional and operational challenges, and we have internal and external resources that enable us to integrate businesses at a rapid pace.
