Acacia Partners, LLC (“Acacia”), an Austin, TX based private investment firm that invests in family-owned or owner-operated companies, announced that it has raised its fourth committed capital fund (“Fund IV”). Similar to prior Acacia funds, Fund IV’s structure allows Acacia to maintain its unique advantages compared to traditional private equity, including the ability to deploy indefinite capital. Acacia hit its hard cap for Fund IV.

Acacia will continue the investment strategy it has employed for the last fifteen years of partnering with family-owned or owner-operated businesses to recapitalize companies with strong market positions and exceptional growth potential. Acacia’s investment mandate includes both majority and minority recapitalizations of businesses with enterprise values between $50-$250 million. The firm’s emphasis on maintaining a strong balance sheet and preserving the existing culture makes Acacia an attractive partner for owners who are looking to roll a significant equity position back into their business and are seeking an alternative to the traditional private equity model.

“We are very fortunate for our investors who continue to show their support of our unique platform. We were able to quickly reach our hard cap for Fund IV and resume our active search for our next platform investment. We remain committed to our differentiated approach of prioritizing being best in class partners,” said Brad Johl, Acacia’s founder.

Acacia has made seven platform investments to date and is aggressively pursuing its next platform, as well as add-on acquisitions for two of its portfolio companies: A&A Global and Project RAM. A&A Global is a value-added distributor of toys, candy, plush and redemption products to the family entertainment center and amusement industry. Project RAM is a leading paving and civil infrastructure contractor serving the Southwest.

Acacia's Differentiated Approach:

• Patient, long-term capital.
• Conservative use of debt. We prefer to generate investment returns through growth and operational excellence rather than financial engineering. We are committed to using a maximum of 2x debt to EBITDA to close an investment.
• Commitment to maintaining the company culture post-closing. We hold a deep appreciation for the unique characteristics that give family businesses a competitive advantage.
• Concerted effort to make the due diligence process as easy and transparent as possible. We have closed 100% of our LOIs on time and at our LOI price.
• Access to a vast investor network to drive valuable strategic introductions.
• Always doing what we say we are going to do. Our reputation is our greatest asset.
• Flexibility in our level of involvement post-closing, with the goal of helping the business grow and not be an impediment to management.
