Union Capital Associates, L.P. is a private equity firm that specializes in control investments in
undermanaged, U.S. family/founder-owned lower middle-market companies with revenues of
approximately $20 million to $200 million in industry sectors including food manufacturing, business
process outsourcing, franchise restaurants, and specialty manufacturing (collectively, “Target Industries”).
Union Capital began business operations in 2016. Union Capital is controlled by Reis L. Alfond, Jay F.
Landauer and William S. Ogden (collectively, the “Managing Partners”). The Managing Partners and are
supplemented by three additional Partners: Arthur (“Art”) G. Murray (“Operating Partner”), Kevin
Delaplane (“Finance Partner”) and Chad Clark (each a “Partner” and collectively, the “Partners”).
Union Capital’s investment advisory business is principally focused on providing advisory services to one
or more pooled investment vehicles and, in certain instances, co-investment vehicles (collectively,
the “Funds” and, each, a “Fund”), organized to make private equity investments in U.S. founder-owned
lower middle-market companies whose operational inefficiencies Union Capital believes mask their
intrinsic value. Union Capital typically seeks to be a company’s first institutional investor and seeks to have
majority ownership. The Funds primarily seek to acquire majority ownership interests in lower middle-
market companies experiencing operational inefficiencies in the Target Industries in which Union Capital,
its Partners, industry executives and professionals that have a relationship with Union Capital, the general
partner or affiliates of the Funds, their portfolio companies and their respective affiliates, and who have
operating expertise and which Union Capital expects to be able to add value to the Funds (the “Operating
Executives”). Union Capital does not recommend a particular type of security and the portfolio investments
of the Funds will not be limited to the Target Industries. The Funds invest in, without limitation,
debt and
equity securities, typically in certain special situations, including bankruptcies.
Generally, a person that is under common control with Union Capital (a “Related Person”) acts as the
general partner of each Fund, and Union Capital (directly or indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary)
serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. References to “Union Capital” in this Brochure include, as
the context requires, affiliates through which Union Capital provides investment advisory services or that
act in any capacity referenced in the previous sentence.
Union Capital tailors its advisory services to the specific investment objectives and restrictions of each
Fund set forth in such Fund’s limited partnership agreement and investment management agreement.
Investors and prospective investors of each Fund (generally referred to herein as “investors” or “limited
partners”) should refer to the confidential private placement memorandum, limited partnership agreement,
subscription agreement and/or other governing documents (collectively, the “Governing Documents”) of
the applicable Fund for complete information on the investment objectives and investment restrictions with
respect to such Fund. There is no assurance that any of the Funds’ investment objectives will be achieved.
Consistent with industry practices, Union Capital, the Funds and/or their general partners have entered into
“side letters” (collectively, “Side Letters” and, each, a “Side Letter”) or similar agreements with certain
investors pursuant to which the general partner grants the investor specific rights, benefits, or privileges
(including economic rights, benefits and privileges) that, except as set forth in the Governing Documents,
are not required to be made available or disclosed to investors generally.
Union Capital manages all client assets on a discretionary basis in accordance with the terms and conditions
of each Fund’s Governing Documents. As of December 31, 2023, Union Capital managed approximately
$996,951,581 in assets on a discretionary basis.
