We contributed our own capital in order to align our interests with those of our investors, and we didn’t charge fees on each acquisition like many leveraged-buyout firms did. Instead, we used the funds to share risk with our investors — and to share opportunities. We had a stated objective of holding our investments for ten to twelve years.
