Sandpiper Process

We believe that investment success is not limited by geography or industry. In our pursuit of attractive investment candidates, Sandpiper considers a diverse array of investments across the United States. This approach allows Sandpiper maximum scope in sourcing potential deals from the universe of smaller portfolio candidates. Throughout the research process, Sandpiper maintains access to all necessary industry and professional resources in order to maximize research depth.

Our belief is that smaller private equity investments, high quality real estate, and well structured debt provide attractive return opportunities. Within each of these areas, we focus on strong, high quality management or development teams that offer sound business plans in solid current financial condition.

Sandpiper’s investment process includes direct, strategic participation in our investments. Board representation or advisory board participation is sought.
