Our Philosophy

Building Great Companies, Through the Lens of Long-Term Business Ownership

ONCAP approaches the private equity market as a long-term owner of businesses, rather than as a portfolio manager focused on shorter term investment results. ONCAP’s investment strategy is predicated on aiming to create value at each operating company over the long-term through revenue and EBITDA growth and not by financial engineering or excessive leverage. ONCAP actively supports value creation strategies and infrastructure investments which are aimed at building businesses for sustained success over the long-term, benefiting shareholders, management teams and employees.

The average experience of the senior ONCAP team is 16 years. ONCAP encourages its investment professionals to be entrepreneurial and intellectually honest while embodying an ownership mindset, which we believe ensures that the ONCAP Team is fully accountable for its value creating actions and results
