NWVA adheres to a consistent philosophy of fundamental investing. Rather than attempt to time the markets, our strategy reflects a bias toward steady levels of investment and appropriately priced transactions. Primarily, we look for management teams exhibiting successful track records, passion about building their businesses and unquestionable integrity. The companies we seek own intellectual property or brands that are proprietary, differentiated and defendable over time. We target entities that operate in uncrowded, growing markets and those that deploy business models focused on achieving industry leadership and sustained profitability.

NWVA’s investment strategy is comprised of the following key components:

		Partner with exceptional executives
		Focus on select industries
		Target smaller businesses with tremendous growth potential
		Create unique platforms
		Contribute incremental value
		Align interests
		Structure investments appropriately
		Generate proprietary deal flow
