American Industrial Partners seeks investments in businesses where both the operating opportunities and risks are familiar to the Firm’s partners. In particular, AIP pursues businesses that enjoy competitive positions, proprietary capabilities, and/or leading market shares, yet may have the potential for significant value enhancement through operating improvements, technological innovation, global marketing and sourcing, or add-on investments.

CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES

AIP has the capability to invest in all parts of the capital structure and special situations that do not fit the prevailing buyout model. Outside of the Firm’s core private equity capabilities, we invest in both primary and secondary credit, structured financings, debtor-in-possession and rescue loans, preferred and common equities and other instruments. The special situations platform seeks to leverage AIP’s operating and engineering capabilities to achieve business insights and generate alpha across a wide range of industrial sectors. Our Credit Opportunities Partners average more than 16 years of experience investing in this space.
