Approach
Our mission at Bain Capital is to produce superior investment returns for our investors. To accomplish this, Bain Capital follows three fundamental principles that have driven the firm for more than 25 years: a high-performance culture, value-added approach to investing, and leveraging our institutional advantages. Our adherence to these principles has enabled Bain Capital to attract and retain some of the industry's most talented investment specialists, and to consistently generate industry-leading returns.
Partnership & Personal Commitment
Bain Capital's approach begins with the formation of successful partnerships, both internally and with the management teams of its portfolio companies. Bain Capital's Managing Directors follow a long-standing tradition of operating as a consensus-oriented partnership, personally committing themselves at every stage of the investment process, and partnering with management to ensure the success of our portfolio companies.
Our Principals are the largest single investor in each of our funds. This personal commitment aligns the interests of our firm with the long-term objectives of our management teams. This partnership culture has cultivated an environment conducive to collaboration and strategic leveraging of the differentiated Bain Capital network to increase deal flow and generate innovative business ideas that optimize the potential of our portfolio companies.
Value-Added Approach
Bain Capital is unique in the approach it takes to adding value to each of its investments through the utilization of the firm's wide range of business intelligence in industry sectors, and expertise across the corporate capital structure.
Bain Capital's investment professionals evaluate potential deal opportunities based on a people-intensive, consulting-based due diligence process that analyzes a company's financial performance, market growth potential, industry attractiveness and competitive position. Based on this analysis, and through close partnership with management, Bain Capital provides the needed support to successfully implement effective business plans that include acquisition development programs, corporate capital restructuring, scaleable expansions designed to leverage competitive advantages, and strategies for improving operating earnings.
Institutional Advantage
The partnership culture that Bain Capital cultivates internally and with its portfolio companies allows for strong business synergies to be realized throughout the firm's global network. Bain Capital's affiliates manage several distinct pools of capital, each requiring a specialized skill set and unique collection of resources available to the firm.
