Investment Philosophy

 

Patience, rigorous analysis, and attention to detail are key elements of Quabbin Capital’s investment process. Quabbin believes investment success is dependent on good business models and a strong management team. When evaluating investment opportunities, Quabbin looks for companies with products and services that have proprietary advantages, sustainable margins, and growth potential. Quabbin and its partners are often the first outside capital provider to invest in the businesses we own.

Given the risks of private equity, Quabbin welcomes the opportunity to work with experienced management teams who are committed to growing their business. Quabbin will take a disciplined approach to providing governance, financial, acquistion, strategic, and recruitment skills to its management partners.
