Bay Hills Capital

What they do

Founded in 2006, Bay Hills Capital is an independent, employee-owned, SEC-registered investment advisor. The firm acts as a specialized gatekeeper for institutional investors, providing them access to hard-to-reach, top-performing small and lower-middle market buyout funds. They build highly focused portfolios through primary fund commitments, direct co-investments, and secondary purchases. Bay Hills has built a strong reputation for its disciplined manager selection, recently ranking in the top 10 globally in the HEC Paris-DowJones Private Equity Fund of Funds performance ranking.

What they look for

Bay Hills Capital’s mission is to consistently generate superior returns for investors through partnerships with top-performing small and lower-middle market buyout funds based in North America. They believe the small buyout segment maintains fundamental structural advantages over large-cap PE, including a larger and more inefficient deal market, lower company purchase price multiples, and a greater ability for sponsors to effect operational, strategic, and financial improvements. They look to partner with highly motivated, returns-oriented private equity sponsors (General Partners) who are experienced company operators with deep sector knowledge, targeting underlying funds that invest in established companies with enterprise values between $20 million and $250 million. Through their "Emerging Partners" mandate, they also actively seek out emerging managers-typically experienced teams spinning out of larger PE firms raising their first or second institutional fund.
