Lightfoot Capital: Investment Strategy

Lightfoot Capital adheres to a disciplined investment strategy that is dedicated to partnering with, promoting and supporting strong management teams to build growth-oriented MLP qualifying businesses or industry verticals.

Initially, Lightfoot Capital seeks to purchase privately owned businesses that have strong management teams with tenured industry experience and deep industry relationships to serve as an industry vertical. Lightfoot Capital will work with management and employ its capital to grow via acquisitions and development projects.

In each industry vertical, Lightfoot Capital will partner with its operating management to develop and grow industry leading businesses. Attributes of these businesses will include:
  • Efficient operating platforms with deep industry relationships
  • Strong, stable cash flows with fee based income streams, limited commodity exposure and long-term contracts
  • History of predictable demand and visible future growth
  • Significant expansion opportunities through add-on acquisitions and development projects
  • Ability to contract, hedge, or otherwise derisk intrinsic exposure
Lightfoot Capital differentiates itself from traditional private equity by inventing its capital in the early stages of developing a paramount industry leading business.




Types of Companies We Pursue
Lightfoot Capital's objective is to invest in MLP qualifying assets and businesses. An MLP is a publicly traded limited partnership whose ownership is divided between the general partner (GP) and the limited partner (LP). An MLP is not subject to corporate level taxation so long as at least 90% of its income comes from qualifying assets.
