Compass Diversified (NYSE: CODI) is a publicly-traded investment and holding company. CODI seeks to generate superior risk adjusted returns for its shareholders through the acquisition of a
diverse set of North American middle market businesses. We own controlling interests in our subsidiary businesses, which maximizes our operating flexibility and drives long-term value creation.
Unlike traditional private equity firms who seek third-party acquisition financing on a transaction-by-transaction basis, our permanent capital structure and access to public markets allows for the efficient consummation of transactions, without any financing contingencies. CODI provides both the debt and equity financing for every transaction, creating a better alignment of interests and is often the buyer of choice due to certainty of financing and speed of closure.
CODI’s ownership perspective as a holding company is not impacted by artificial timing criteria such as fund life. This enables us to invest in people, processes, culture, and growth opportunities that drive long-term transformational change. Upon completion of an acquisition, we immediately begin to work with the acquired company’s management team to identify the most critical and time sensitive needs and opportunities and to address them aggressively. Our subsidiaries have ongoing access to substantial growth capital to make investments in lasting infrastructure, organic growth initiatives and pursue add-on acquisitions.
We will consider acquiring controlling interests in companies with the following characteristics

Investment Criteria
Leading niche industrial or branded consumer company
headquartered in North America
