We operate as a hybrid between an equity fund and a diversified services corporation. We believe this operational structure is the fundamental third component of our value proposition; the first being, a dedication to working with companies for whom affiliation with HOV will build new value for both parties engaged; and the second being, controlling ownership of each company we consider for our portfolio.
 |
We facilitate appropriate opportunities each HOV portfolio company to cross-sell its services to the major clients of each other HOV portfolio company. |
|
We manage delivery of services based on best practices and contribution to profits from our global platform to our portfolio companies. |
|
We identify, in coordination with portfolio company senior management, strategic M&A opportunities, and we make those opportunities happen. |
|
We help our portfolio companies maintain and improve their cash flow and liquidity, and we identify opportunities for portfolio companies to take advantage of our relationships with lending institutions and other financial partners. |
In this way, our portfolio companies receive support services similar to what they would receive as business units of a diversified services corporation.
We operate our businesses as if part of an equity fund portfolio:
-
We organize our portfolio companies by industry by sector with forward-looking goals for combination based on the ultimate benefit to the target customer base and to us as the owners. Part of our investment strategy for each deal is to initially, complete a thorough analysis of the industry and its respective segments, prior to making a platform acquisition. Post platform acquisition, we continue to allow the companies to operate autonomously before building scale. Through inorganic growth, we scale our investments by acquiring products and services in the space. Our goal is to become a leading, diversified player in every industry we enter increasing the overall benefit to our clients.
