About JLL Partners | Our Investment Strategy

JLL seeks to invest in fundamentally strong companies across a wide range of manufacturing and service industries. We have invested in healthcare services, medical products, food and consumer products, chemicals, broadcasting, transportation, automotive, industrial manufacturing, and distribution.

While we always look for strong fundamentals, we realize that the best values often lie in complicated situations. Such situations may include companies which are significantly over-leveraged; companies lacking committed sponsorship; companies requiring strategic and/or operational refocusing; companies in out-of-favor industries; businesses being divested from a larger corporate entity; and well-run companies seeking a financial partner to pursue their strategies. Our expertise in operational and financial restructurings allows the firm to consider investment opportunities that many investment firms shun.

Upon making an investment, we first ensure a safe capital structure; then we focus on assisting management in improving the business and implementing its strategy. An integral part of that strategy usually involves making attractive add-on acquisitions to both grow and strategically position the business. We generally provide financial advice and often additional equity in support of such acquisitions.
