The Ropart Asset Management Funds (RAM) is a private equity firm that invests directly in small to midsize companies. The firm pursues a flexible strategy, investing throughout the capital structure and in multiple industries, including Business Services, Healthcare Services, Consumer Products, Financial Services, and Software/Technology. The current portfolio is composed of platform/control investments - usually leveraged buyouts (LBOs), mezzanine lending, and growth capital investments. RAM also makes opportunistic investments in distressed or special situations (e.g., secondary market purchases of private equity fund LP interests). RAM generally seeks to invest $3-15 million of equity in deals with transaction value ranges of $10-100 million, but has and will lead or participate in deals requiring as much as $35 million in equity with values up to $200 million.
