Our most recent fund, Industrial Growth Partners VI, L.P., is a $1.2 billion “blind” pool of capital, over which the Partners of IGP have full investment discretion. No outside or third-party consents are required in order to proceed with an investment.

Our Investors — We believe that our blue-chip base of Limited Partners is a key differentiator. These investors provide not only patient capital, but also unique access to business and industry knowledge within their organizations. Several leading endowments, foundations, family offices, fund of funds, insurance companies and pension plans, have invested in IGP, and their relationships and insights extend IGP’s reach and capabilities considerably.

Our Network — IGP has solid relationships with numerous commercial banks, institutional financing firms, insurance companies, mezzanine groups and investment banks. These relationships extend back as much as two decades and are a critical aspect of ensuring a stable capital base for the businesses in which IGP invests. Since 1997, no transaction on which we have embarked has failed to close due to lack of financing.

Our Approach — We typically employ demonstrably lower leverage than that of our private equity peers. As a result of our lower leverage philosophy, we had no credit defaults in our portfolio during the recession of 2008-2010 and we have never had a bankruptcy in the history of the firm.
