We hope your 2026 is off to a great start! We’re excited to share that FFL had another productive year, thanks to our hyperspecialized, high-engagement Sector Exploration and Expertise Development (“SEED”) strategy.
We are proud to partner with businesses and management teams that we consider best-in-class. We believe the high quality of our investments has enabled us to consistently deploy capital and return proceeds to our investors.
Highlights from the past year:
- We completed an attractive proprietary investment in Janus Rx, representing the culmination of a longstanding SEED
- On average, our portfolio companies generated 20%+ organic year-over-year revenue and EBITDA growth
- We successfully exited two investments: Eyemart Express to VSP Vision and Anova to Aurora Capital Partners, contributing to $500M+ in proceeds realized in the past year
- We completed a merger within our portfolio between Abacus Group and Medicus IT to create a leading IT managed service provider focused on financial services and healthcare clients
- We made five well-deserved promotions at FFL and added five new team members
- FFL was recognized as an Inc. Founder-Friendly Investor, reflecting our long history of collaborating with founders of high-quality middle market businesses
As always, we are grateful for the continued support from all of our investors, colleagues, and friends as we look forward to 2026.
