Since our inception, NCEP has invested with more than 50 different private equity firms in well over 125 companies. We have supported growth and facilitated value creation in these companies by providing strategic advice as well as financing for numerous add-on acquisitions. Whether we are providing subordinated debt or equity, we have an “equity-oriented” approach that aligns our interests with those of the sponsor and management. This outlook is useful during periods of prosperity as well as economic challenge. NCEP has invested consistently through several economic cycles. Having enjoyed successful growth, endured recessions and funded recoveries, our firm has developed a level of experience that can only be obtained through a long history of investing. Our experience, combined with a high level of continuity among the investment team, makes our organization a value-added investment partner for any private equity group, business owner or management team. Additionally, our experience has earned us a high degree of credibility with other capital providers.
