We are a unique alternative to today’s typical private equity provider.

We seek business partners in which we can invest for the long haul, employing a buy, hold, and grow strategy. We are a team of entrepreneurs and operators with a deep understanding of what it takes to lead and scale successful distribution businesses. Our approach allows us to make decisions in the best long-term interest of our companies and employees.

OUR INVESTMENT FOCUS

Our expertise is distribution, which is where we can add the greatest value.

MIDDLE-MARKET

Generally, we prefer to partner with businesses with an enterprise value between $50–$500 million. No minimum for add-ons.

GEOGRAPHY

We target companies based in the U.S. or Canada that have a national reach.

How We Partner

Providing the Key Ingredients for Growth

Capital

The Tracy family is the sole source of capital for DFH. This allows for efficient decision-making, flexible transaction structures, and a permanent capital base to fund growth whether organically or through acquisition. 

Guidance

Our team has decades of experience building the structures necessary to support sustainable growth. From the outset, we establish governance that provides the guidance required to achieve our companies’ growth objectives. 

Planning

We firmly believe that disciplined strategic planning is essential to driving business growth. We provide the resources our companies need to begin or improve their strategic planning process. 

Talent

Talent is our greatest resource, and we believe it is the most important resource for any business. We know how to develop existing talent within our companies, and we have the resources to find and recruit talented individuals to help grow our businesses. 

Growth

Each company is different. Our team has the experience to help define or refine our companies’ growth strategies, and we have the business development resources to identify and execute add-on acquisitions.

Not All Capital Is Created Equal

This is an opportunity to partner differently
