Private Equity Philosophy

FW Capital employs a flexible and high-conviction approach to investing, emphasizing small market opportunities. Due to the size of the funds that we manage, FW Capital has the flexibility to target what we consider to be “best-in-class” opportunities in private equity.

We seek to make 7-10 private equity commitments across all sectors in a given year, which lends to our high-conviction approach to investing.¹
