Founded in 1972, The Broe Group manages a group of affiliated companies that own and/or operate in excess of $1 billion in assets. One of those companies is Broe Strategic Capital, LLC, a private equity company that focuses on hard-asset investment opportunities and new business platforms in situations that complement current business initiatives of the other companies that Broe provides management services to. In addition to financial investments by Broe Strategic Capital, Broe typically takes a leading role by deploying its management expertise where significant value can be added. Opportunities range from restructurings to stand-alone operations to corporate spin-offs. Broe Strategic Capital and its affiliates also invest in distressed debt situations and focus on a wide variety of industries, including Real Estate, Transportation, and Energy. This is done either as a pure investment play or as a means to acquire the underlying assets.
