As former corporate executives, Lightyear’s senior investment professionals relate to corporate management as peers and recognize what it takes to operate a successful business. We have assisted management in formulating strategies for growth, advised in raising capital and addressed the challenges of creating long-term value for businesses in competitive marketplaces.
Financial services expertise
Lightyear invests in industries where we can add value based on the collective background of our senior investment professionals. The centerpiece of this approach is our focus on the financial services sector. The firm’s principals have each spent approximately 25 years in financial services, earning a reputation for expertise in evaluating opportunities, structuring transactions and achieving solid returns on investments.
Resources beyond capital
The financing that Lightyear provides represents only the beginning of what we bring to our relationships with our portfolio companies. Lightyear supplies a range of resources, including access to experts in both strategic management and capital structure formulation, as well as a far-reaching network of long-term relationships and contacts, from corporate CEOs and investment experts to government leaders.
