RFE pursues growth strategies in North American small market companies.

We make control investments in businesses with initial enterprise values of $20 million to $150 million. The RFE team then works collaboratively with management to identify actionable channels of growth, both organically and through add-on acquisitions. Management will also have access to a network of operations and human capital resources that are available to support the team throughout the investment lifecycle.
