Investment Strategy

Crestview Partners applies a contrarian, value-oriented investment strategy, seeking to make concentrated investments in middle-market companies, often within sectors undergoing significant disruption or perceived dislocation due to technological innovation, changing consumer behavior, or market cycles. The firm emphasizes patient capital, selectivity, and significant operational involvement to drive improvement and growth, focusing on long-term value creation. Crestview utilizes its deep relationship network to source proprietary deals and add value at portfolio firms, leveraging operational and strategic initiatives. ESG factors are considered in both diligence and portfolio management, and the firm prefers modest leverage and is often selective about timing investments to capitalize on market dislocations, distressed opportunities, and special situations.
