Conservative Capital Structures

Our conservative capital structures provide operational and financial flexibility to weather economic cycles, competitive threats, and support meaningful investments in people, systems, facilities, equipment and strategic add-on acquisitions. Pfingsten has never had a portfolio company file for bankruptcy.

We have invested, on average, 65% equity into the capital structure of each platform company, enabling us to close transactions even in volatile credit markets. We have never failed to close a transaction due to financing.
