Growth capital fund offers Bay Area lenders and dealmakers
at ACG conference unique opportunities for meeting their client’s capital objectives.
LOS ANGELES, February 2011 — Breakwater Investment Management, LLC (“Breakwater”) will attend the Association for Corporate Growth’s (ACG) 2011 West Coast Capital Conference on February 10th at the InterContinental in San Francisco, CA. Breakwater is a private investment firm that specializes in direct investments in small to lower middle market businesses. In attendance from Breakwater will be Managing Partner Saif Mansour and Jeffrey Sweeney, Partner and CEO of leading alternative small-business lender US Capital Partners (USCP).
“The objective of the Fund is to generate both current income and capital appreciation primarily in smaller and lower middle market companies across a variety of industries,” Mansour said. “As the economy is slowly rebounding, we see great opportunities for investors and dealmakers to structure optimum financing solutions on behalf of their clients. We look forward to networking and sharing our investment strategy with other lenders and private equity professionals at the ACG conference in San Francisco.”
Breakwater targets highly promising growth-oriented companies typically underserved by the broader capital markets and that have limited alternatives to fuel their operational growth plans. According to Mansour, the firm achieves outstanding results by working in close partnership with its portfolio companies, investors, clients, and affiliates.
Additionally, Breakwater’s strategic alliance with USCP, a full-service investment banking firm, provides the fund priority access to attractive deal opportunities, structured to meet its investment criteria, and supports working relationships alongside commercial banks, asset-based lenders, and other financial providers.”
“This cooperative lending model allows us to collaborate with other lenders and dealmakers to structure optimum financing solutions,” Sweeney said. “Due to the continued constriction of traditional bank or cash-flow loans, companies often turn to private banks and alternative lenders to secure adequate financing for eliminating working capital constraints and fueling ongoing growth.”
