The Red Diamond Difference
Red Diamond Capital’s investment approach makes us an attractive partner to any business seeking the resources to grow—whether a corporate division constrained by a lack of capital, a private business facing succession and transition issues, or a public company challenged by competitors with greater strategic resources. We raise companies and managements to new levels of success by providing a unique combination of capital, global strategic resources, industry experience, and executive expertise sourced through our CEOwners Program.
- Strategic resources. Our portfolio companies benefit from global strategic resources that level the playing field for mid-size companies. Mitsubishi Corporation, Red Diamond Capital’s strategic partner and funding source, is Japan’s leading trading company, with over $150 billion of revenues and $30 billion in market capitalization. Mitsubishi is one of the world’s most diverse enterprises, with over 800 subsidiaries and affiliates and a global network of 190 offices in more than 100 countries. Through this affiliation, our business partners can gain access to global scale purchasing power, low cost manufacturing sources and advanced research and development resources. Our partners can further leverage the Mitsubishi relationship to expand channels of product distribution, especially into international markets.
- Industry experience. We focus on seven core industries where our affiliation with Mitsubishi and the experience of Red Diamond’s principals can create economic value for our portfolio companies. Our understanding of industry dynamics and the global resources of our strategic partner provide key competitive advantages to the companies in which we invest.
- Management expertise. Through our CEOwners Program, Red Diamond can bring seasoned executive talent to businesses facing management challenges or succession issues. The industry and management expertise of our CEO partners can provide a catalyst to unlock the growth potential of fundamentally sound businesses that lack focused leadership.
