Private equity is a broad category that encompasses early and later-stage investment opportunities in a range of privately held companies.

Waveland has underwritten private equity investments since its inception in 2000, with a focus on companies in the medical technology and energy industries. Since then, we have expanded our investment verticals to include healthcare, business services and information technology. We aim to provide our investors and limited partners with well structured and well researched investment opportunities in companies with rapid growth potential, strong intellectual property, scalable business models, recurring revenues, large and growing markets, and experienced management teams.

We offer investors direct investment in individual companies and investment in multiple companies through a fund structure. We patiently invest in superior companies that offer the potential to deliver above-market returns.

There are numerous benefits pertaining to our private equity offerings, including the following:

• Substantial research into each portfolio company’s operations, management, industry, competitive environment, and financial prospects
• Proprietary technology and other barriers to market entry
• Sufficient market opportunity to enable success without market dominance
• Management teams with significant experience
• Potential for high returns on investment relative to other categories of investment
