Investment Philosophy and Differentiation

RGP is not a traditional "private equity fund". RGP invests the capital of its principals and capital partners with the objective of growing companies versus "managing money". To accomplish this objective, in certain situations and during periods of transition, RGP's principals will become actively involved in partnership with the company's management team to assist in accomplishing targeted strategic objectives.

RGP strongly believes in pursuing partnerships with talented and driven managers and owners who exhibit an exceptionally high degree of integrity, ethical values and passion for their business and team.

Great companies are built by passionate individuals who "love what they do" and understand that a productive and energized corporate culture is critical to success. Current income, investment returns and wealth creation are the products of a team that is passionate about its business and fostering a success-driven culture.

While trust and passion are absolutely critical to the success of partnerships over the long term, management must also be highly motivated to achieve the shared objectives of the company. To ensure aggressive execution toward shared objectives, RGP seeks to align management incentives such that significant wealth can be created by exceptional performers at various levels of management. RGP seeks to design effective incentive compensation and ownership opportunities that highly reward management teams for achieving shared objectives, including and focused on: quality, on-time delivery, innovation, cost competitiveness, operational efficiency, accuracy of execution, customer and market development, shared values and ethics, team building, talent development and financial performance.
