Strategy
Northgate invests in alternative asset classes where skill and experience can lead to meaningful returns in excess of the averages for both that specific asset class as well as the averages for major public equity indices. To date, this strategy has led to a primary focus on venture capital and buyouts/growth capital.
In venture capital, Northgate's core strategy is to invest with experienced fund managers who have backed the most successful start-ups over the last few decades. Many top entrepreneurs and technologists return to these established firms for financing. In addition, a few highly talented emerging managers may be a secondary focus for Northgate.
In buyouts/growth capital, Northgate's strategy is to invest with a select group of motivated managers who have demonstrated a high degree of skill in disciplined acquisition, value creation, and successful exits. While Northgate believes that small market buyouts represent the most attractive segment from an acquisition and exit standpoint, middle and large market buyout fund managers often present compelling propositions in terms of value creation. Northgate evaluates managers across all sizes and developed market geographies.
