Founded 2005, Blue Wolf makes control investments of $10 million and up in middle-market companies. The firm uses creative problem-solving to identify investment opportunities in attractive companies whose value is obscured by: reliance on government policy or subsidy; poor labor relations; and/or financial distress coupled with management or governance dysfunction. Blue Wolf does not target any particular industry and the firm's partners have led successful investments in a wide range of businesses, including service and applied engineering companies, capital equipment manufacturers, general manufacturing, financial services and broadcast media. Typically the firm targets American or Canadian companies with minimum revenues of $25 million. With a minimum of a $20 million transaction size and a minimum investment size of $10 million, Blue Wolf structures investments as debt or hybrid debt/equity instruments, and in the case of bankruptcies, the firm may provide debtor-in-possession financing in conjunction with a plan to take control post-bankruptcy. Blue Wolf does not invest in start-ups or re-starts of closed businesses.
