Firm Overview
An Operational Partner for Complex Situations
LBA invests in misunderstood and undervalued companies, corporate carve-outs, and special situations in the lower middle market. We combine disciplined, value-oriented investing with hands-on operational expertise, working alongside management over a three-to-seven-year horizon to build stronger businesses.
Strategy

We pursue control investments in resilient, non-cyclical sectors supported by durable long-term demand: industrials, aerospace and defense, specialty manufacturing, and business and industrial services. Our value creation playbook centers on operational excellence, transformational growth, and disciplined strategic development.
