What differentiates Cognitive is our ability to provide flexible, long term capital and our unique blend of private equity investing and operating experience. Our fund structure and our investor profile gives us a very flexible investment horizon, allowing us to invest for two years or 20 years, depending on the needs and opportunities of our portfolio companies. As such, we have the ability to invest across all economic cycles, being opportunistic in down markets and patient when prices outpace value. We manage a limited number of high-quality investments, allowing greater focus on assisting management in growing and improving their businesses. Our unique approach to long-term private equity investing provides a deeper partnership with management, generating a more collaborative and productive relationship and alignment of objectives between employees, management and investors.

We bring a unique blend of investing and operating expertise to support management and drive growth and value creation. Our experience includes operating, managing, growing, developing, investing in and advising companies ranging in size from family-owned to the Fortune 500, enabling us to leverage a deep understanding of the challenges and issues facing the companies we invest in and provide valuable assistance to our management partners.
