Turnbridge's investment strategy focuses on partnering with experienced management teams to drive strategic growth and value creation, typically targeting companies generating between $25 million and $250 million in revenue at the time of initial investment. The firm seeks to invest alongside superior management teams, often as their company's first institutional equity partner, to assist in the pursuit of shared strategic growth and value-creation objectives. Turnbridge's guiding principles include an expectation that world demand for access to low-cost and low-carbon energy will continue to expand, which will drive the need for growth investments and sustainability improvements. The firm also emphasizes a focus on value at the time of investment, as well as throughout the execution of operating strategy, to ensure investment return targets can be realized. Additionally, Turnbridge prioritizes a collaborative partnership with management, which allows the firm to be impactful in real-time strategic decisions that drive value creation. The firm's commitment to responsible investing aligns with its dedication to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, as well as health, safety, environmental, and compliance (HSEC) standards throughout its portfolio selection, growth plans, and exit objectives. Turnbridge's offices are located in Dallas and Houston, Texas, benefiting from the knowledge and relationships its partners have developed over their respective decades of experience in the industries in which it invests. The firm's investor base includes a broad group of institutional and individual partners with whom the principals have long-standing relationships. Turnbridge's portfolio companies are dedicated to implementing ESG practices, such as methane emissions reduction, bilingual safety training, eco-friendly operations, and global water solutions that positively impact the environment, economy, and communities. The firm's investment approach includes developing and implementing, together with management teams, strategic priorities and value-creating operating plans, as well as financial and ESG reporting frameworks to ensure alignment and accountability. Turnbridge also invests in vital organizational development, including key areas such as service quality, manufacturing efficiency, health, safety, environmental and compliance, human resources, and finance and accounting. The firm leverages its network of established relationships across its end markets of interest, and through its past and present portfolio companies, to source, diligence, and execute strategic acquisitions, as well as facilitate introductions to key vendors or customers. Turnbridge assists in the continuous evaluation of capital availability, sources, and terms, particularly as relevant for financing internal growth and acquisition opportunities. The firm recruits executives and attracts industry-knowledgeable board directors and co-investors who can accelerate growth and provide seasoned guidance. Turnbridge enhances financial systems, reporting, and controls, and prepares for future liquidity objectives. Overall, as partners, Turnbridge endeavors to serve as valuable counsel to its management teams without interfering with the day-to-day operation of their companies.
