OUR MISSION To bring together interrelated companies to prosper through the ability to self-manage and cross-pollinate. We not only look for good businesses, but for good operating partners whose knowledge, experience and skill will continue to ensure the long-term success of the companies they run. OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY The Ardent Group’s investment approach is to acquire partner companies with dynamic, dedicated management. TAG brings an approach focused on operational success to its acquisition process and portfolio company oversight. This value-added approach relies on fostering strong relationships with talented managers. Our philosophy is self-management, allowing TAG’s assembled companies to enjoy the benefits of a symbiotic partnership while they continue to deploy the best practices that have been their proven formulas for success. Fostering growth with autonomy of management and operations in true partnership with TAG leverages the joint benefits of training, management support, capital allocation, central employee benefits, development and diverse industry experience.
