The dog days of summer were a busy time at TM Capital, with three August closings in the industrial, consumer and restaurant sectors. These completed engagements – two of which were for long term clients of the Firm – included portfolio realizations for two private equity sponsors and a restaurant brand divestiture. All three outcomes leveraged TM’s global strategic advisory platform as well as our unique insights into the investment focuses of leading middle market private equity firms. We look forward to a sunny, colorful and busy autumn season.
