Integrity Brands originates and oversees investments in a closely-focused arena:
Retail, specialty retail, and branded consumer products companies;
Design- and fashion-intensive companies, in particular.
Our strategy is based on our experience base. We combine experience in finance, governance, brands and specialty retail, and active, value-added investing.
We identify companies with the potential for dramatic value gains, based on our ongoing involvement with brands and the specialty retail sector.
We focus on situations where value enhancement drivers are creative, as well as operations-driven - including product, merchandising, and brand development and positioning.
We also focus on situations where there are at play complex issues of governance, financial structure, and corporate lifecycle and organizational change.
We structure an involvement to help catalyze value creation.
We believe we are unique in:
Our exclusive focus on a narrow sector, where we have experience as managers, advisors, board members, and investors;
Our mission to provide multifaceted, hands-on input;
Our track record on both the creative and the financial side of the business;
Our familiarity with complex issues around corporate transitions, and the unique ways in which they play out in creatively-fueled organizations.
In the past ten years, we have invested in over a dozen leading consumer brand and specialty retail companies, and, are gratified by the involvements that we have had in a number of great value creation stories. We have also advised, and participated as joint venture partners, in a range of additional companies, helping to drive initiatives including the development of new products and brand extensions, the creation of new distribution channels, brand repositionings, acquisitions, recapitalizations, and financial and governance transitions.
Our structure facilitates a broad range of involvements. We are interested in situations ranging from small startup concepts to mature public companies. Similarly, we are open to a broad range of structures and relationships with our portfolio companies, built around the unifying theme of constructive, expert involvement, as business partners, to drive enhanced value.
