Auxo Investment Partners makes investments in companies at transition points in their history, then instills the infrastructure, processes and talent that nurture their success and help them grow to their full potential. We do so in collaboration with our management teams and investors – as our name reflects, we are not merely investors, but partners. We are veteran investor-operators, having a long and successful track record of providing strategic operational guidance to help companies unlock growth and achieve scale without sacrificing their legacies.   Our investment philosophy also reflects our belief in a broader set of obligations: > Long-Term Investors: We desire to own companies for extended periods of time. Our unique structure and investment model aligns investors with the company’s interests. This allows us to avoid the excessive leverage and short-term decision making that beset many private equity firms. > Trusted Stewards: We care deeply about the families, employees, communities and customers of the companies we invest in. We take seriously the responsibility and trust placed in us as stewards of the next chapter of a company’s history. > A Human Endeavor: We believe business is a human endeavor, not a spreadsheet exercise. We invest in people and partner with management teams in guiding companies to reach their fullest potential. > Supporting U.S. Manufacturing: We believe domestic manufacturing makes America and American families stronger, so we strive to preserve and create US manufacturing jobs. > Conscious Capitalism: We adhere to the values enumerated in the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investing and integrate environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) concerns into our investment practices.
