Our Focus

Solis creates value through growth. It does not develop investment strategies based on financial engineering or market timing. As such, Solis invests in and partners with growth-oriented companies in defensible industry niches. Solis prefers companies with proven service and manufacturing models where the application of “old style” business fundamentals and/or available technology will generate revenue and cash flow growth. Fragmented and growing industries with few dominant players are preferred as they present opportunities for selective add-on and tuck-in acquisitions to supplement organic growth.

Solis professionals have successfully invested during varied business cycles, and have not deviated from Solis’ “fundamentals-based” approach. Underlying this approach is Solis’ philosophy that value ultimately will be created, regardless of market conditions, so long as portfolio companies increase their cash flow.

Solis prefers companies based in the Western United States, with an emphasis on companies located in Southern California. Solis actively pursues opportunities in a broad spectrum of industries, but typically not in the retail, restaurant or apparel sectors.
