Great Point Partners invests in growing, profitable health care companies
Companies choose to work with Great Point Partners because of our health care expertise, our industry contacts and our focus on helping strong management teams achieve accelerated and sustainable growth.
Providing value to management
Great Point Partners’ Private Equity Managing Directors have more than 70 collective years of private equity experience. Supporting our Managing Directors are a talented team of investment professionals in our Greenwich and London offices with a singular focus on investing in and building health care companies. From the time we invest in a company to an exit, 5 to 8 years down the road, a typical Great Point company sees a three-fold increase in value.
For most of our platform investments, tuck-in acquisitions provide an excellent way to expand product lines and expand geographically. However, to do this well, you need expertise and a dedicated person building your acquisition pipeline. Great Point excels at sourcing strategic tuck-in acquisitions and arranging the required debt financing that does not require business owners to provide a personal guarantee or take further dilution. Great Point has a team dedicated to sourcing, structuring and executing acquisitions for its portfolio companies, and has sourced a majority of the more than 100 tuck-in acquisitions completed by the GPP portfolio. The firm has averaged over 4 tuck-in acquisitions per exited portfolio company, we believe more than any other health care private equity firm.
Great Point Partners focuses solely on health care investments. We form specific investment theses around subsectors that aim to capture particular tailwinds that exist in the health care ecosystem. We then contact the management teams who are building leading businesses within those subsectors of health care to introduce Great Point and articulate our investment thesis and value proposition. When you meet with Great Point, our industry work is already complete, and the conversation is centered around the various strategies to further grow your business.
We believe Great Point Partners is recognized as one of the most innovative and successful investors in the health care industry. Our investment conveys a valuable endorsement to growing companies that opens access to lower interest rate debt financing and other benefits.
Approximately 8% of the capital invested in each of our private equity investments comes from the Great Point team. We believe this ratio is very high among private equity firms. We align our interests with our managers, profiting or losing when they do, hence, we “eat our own cooking.” This high co-investment ratio comforts management teams that a commitment by Great Point is both a personal and fiduciary one on behalf of our limited partners.
We currently manage $1.7 billion of public and private equity capital. Capital for our funds has been committed from world-renowned foundations, endowments and family offices.
We have long-standing relationships with senior lenders. These lenders provide more financing, more flexible terms and remove all founder personal guarantees once Great Point becomes an investor.
We enhance the value of your business through sourcing tuck-in acquisitions, executive and board recruiting, and strategic and financial advice. As a testament to our partnership, many of our CEOs ultimately join our CEO Advisory Board, serve on the Boards of other GPP companies and invest alongside us through the GPP funds and coinvestments.
Great Point Partners recognizes that a commitment to clinical excellence is core to the success and sustainability of any health care business. We invest significantly in our portfolio companies to ensure that we are collectively adhering to the highest levels of quality for your customers and your patients.
