Overview
Union Park Capital Management, L.P. (“Union Park”) is an SEC-registered investment
adviser with its principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts. We have been in
business since 2013. The firm’s registration with the SEC does not imply any particular
level of skill or training by our firm or employees or that the SEC has endorsed our
respective qualifications to provide investment advisory services. Morgan Jones and
Peter McGuire are Union Park’s principal owners and are also limited partners.
Union Park provides investment management services to Private Equity Funds and
certain parallel co-investors (hereinafter collectively, "the Funds"). Unlike other types of
private funds, such as hedge funds, private equity funds receive unfunded capital
commitments from investors during one or more initial fundraising stages, after which
the funds are generally closed to new investors. The fund manager will then call on
investors to make capital infusions (each a “drawdown”), based on their commitments, to
support the fund’s investments once those investments have been identified and fully
vetted through an extensive due diligence and negotiation process. Investments made for
the Funds are generally, but not exclusively, in private, illiquid securities.
Union Park is focused solely on lower middle-market Industrial Technology companies.
We partner with management teams to cultivate businesses through a combination of
organic growth and careful strategic add-on acquisitions. Union Park will typically
pursue equity investments of between $10 million and $50 million, generally focusing on
platform businesses with $10 million to $75 million in revenue. We will also invest larger
amounts on occasion with support from our partners. Add-on acquisitions for our
platform companies will typically range from $1 million to $50 million of revenue. We
will consider companies that are profitable and those that have been historically
profitable but have temporarily encountered headwinds and are underperforming in some
manner. Our specialization enables us to play a decisive role in portfolio company
management and operations
while maintaining perspective on valuations, financing
parameters and exit/liquidation potential. For each Fund, Union Park performs in-depth
due diligence regarding investments, structures and prices of prospective portfolio
companies and add-on acquisitions to portfolio companies, works closely with portfolio
companies to provide strategic, operating, marketing and financial advice and identifies
multiple exit options prior to an initial investment.
Union Park leverages its extensive industry knowledge and contacts to identify
investment opportunities for the Funds. The investment objective of the Funds is to
seek long-term capital appreciation over the course of each Fund’s term, generally ten
years from the final closing, subject to limited extensions at the discretion of the General
Partner and/or requisite investor approval to permit the orderly liquidation of a Fund.
Union Park mostly sources investment opportunities directly, but may also utilize
affiliated and unaffiliated third parties, including traditional investment banks, brokers,
and placement agents.
The Funds are not required to register under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Investment
Company Act of 1940 in reliance upon certain exemptions available to issuers whose
securities are not publicly offered. We manage the Funds on a discretionary basis in
accordance with the terms and conditions of each Fund's offering and organizational
documents.
ASSETS: As of December 31, 2023, Union Park had approximately $654 million in
discretionary regulatory assets under management. Union Park does not manage any
assets on a non-discretionary basis.
