Lubar & Co. emphasizes a Professional Ownership® philosophy, which involves actively supporting professional management teams to achieve strategic goals. This approach is grounded in four key tenets: partnering with strong management teams, providing capital along with strategic, operational, and financial guidance, committing to long-term ownership without an initial exit strategy, and fostering mutual respect and trust in all relationships. This philosophy has been integral to the firm's success in building world-class businesses over the years.
