Maximizing the value of your investments.

Private equity, investment firms and their portfolio businesses have different entry and exit strategies than most privately held corporations. The primary objective is to maximize the value of investment portfolios, which requires proactive efforts to maximize risk management and risk opportunities in individual portfolio organizations. However, it can be challenging to truly leverage risks and reduce costs due to a lack of comprehensive investment risk assessment, limited resources, and management and ownership changes. While there are often sophisticated insurance programs in place, organizations often lack the broader understanding and programming needed to truly manage and address risks that are impacting the bottom line across an entire portfolio.

EquityGUARD™ is Gibraltar’s unique solution for helping investment firms assess, mitigate, manage and finance the risks within their current portfolios and prospective investments. For investment groups and their portfolio businesses, our RiskIMPACT™ process will reduce both direct and indirect risk costs, while significantly reducing and stabilizing insurance premium expense. Even more importantly, we will help mitigate the risks that could have a catastrophic impact on safety, sustainability, profitability and, ultimately, valuation.

With strategic expertise in business, risk management and investment risk analysis, it just makes sense for our team to serve as risk advisors for investment firms and their portfolio companies in the industries we serve, including agribusiness, hospitality, energy, industrial/heavy construction, manufacturing and transportation. This service is designed to help firms make wise purchases, and then maximize the value of those purchases to ensure the very best ROI. EquityGUARD™ isn’t about adding a new line item to the budget. You can get more value out of the dollars that are already being spent on insurance and broker fees by investing in a more focused risk management approach to make a significant impact on the bottom line.
