CNL Strategic Capital

Built on a Foundation of Risk Mitigation1

We seek controlling ownership of middle-market companies whose management teams also plan to invest.2 Our focus not only drives alignment within portfolio companies — it means we don’t target high-risk startups, turnarounds or distressed companies.

Highly Selective Acquistion Criteria3

Through its four U.S. offices and more than 4,000 relationships, our sub-manager, Levine Leichtman, generates approximately 1,500 potential investment opportunities annually. The select few private companies that make it into the portfolio tend to have annual revenues between $15m and $250m.

Diversification Across Industries4

Our emphasis on risk mitigation extends to the industries where we invest. We target non-cyclical sectors that are less correlated to the U.S. economy.
