Since beginning operations in September 2011, White Wolf has made numerous successful private equity investments in middle market companies across multiple industries in the U.S. and Canada.

White Wolf prides itself as being a creative, flexible, and solutions-oriented private capital provider. Accordingly, in September 2021, White Wolf launched its private credit strategy enabling us to invest across the capital structure and in situations that require custom solutions.

In general, our private credit strategy will be focused on making senior or mezzanine debt investments as well as minority equity co-investments in privately-held, middle market companies (minimum revenue and EBITDA of $10 million and $3 million, respectively).

Similar to our private equity strategy, preferred industries, in general, include: manufacturing, business services, information technology, security, aerospace and defense.

Typical situations include direct lending to lower middle-market companies and private equity financial sponsors to fund refinancings, leveraged buyouts, acquisitions, recapitalizations, strategic growth investments, and capital expenditures.
