We seek to empower strong management teams to realize their vision and drive outsized growth through innovation, superior execution, and a focus on the long term.
Because we speak for both the debt and the equity, we take majority positions, offering tailored liquidity solutions, allowing us to be the buyer of choice for founders, family owners, corporates, private equity firms, and management teams.
Unlike private equity investors, CODI’s permanent capital lets us go ‘all-in’, investing in people, processes, infrastructure, and growth opportunities that fuel fundamental transformational change. We fully engage in our companies’ visions, challenges, and goals, utilizing our resources, expertise, and industry knowledge to help build exceptional companies. We foster environments where innovation thrives and strategic guidance ignites disruption.
We work closely with management teams to leverage our sector expertise, operational experience, and global resources to accelerate our subsidiaries’ growth.
With more than two decades of experience, our team possesses the know-how to navigate all types of acquisitions—even the complexities of acquiring family-owned businesses, take-private transactions, and noncore divisions of larger companies.
We are proud to be included in Inc. Magazine’s 2024 Founder-Friendly Investors List.

We take a disciplined approach to capital deployment. We have a proven track record of identifying and executing investments in high-growth companies. Permanent capital and our diversified portfolio of subsidiary companies help us weather economic cycles. Our structure enables us to provide both the debt and equity financing for every transaction, creating an alignment of interests, transaction certainty, and transaction speed. That's why we're the buyer of choice—ready to act, with committed funding and a strong certainty to close.
We’re here to build long-term value. Backed by permanent capital, we can invest free from the restriction of the artificial timelines that tie traditional private equity down. Focused on long-term durable change, not short-term wins, we do what is best for the company’s growth. Our bespoke approach allows us to give each company the resources it needs to go further. We work with top talent management teams to support long-term value creation through investments in people, equipment, systems, and complementary add-on acquisitions. We focus on growth while maintaining a responsible amount of leverage. Our culture is built on accountability, governance, and an unwavering commitment to being a partner who is in it for the long haul. At CODI, we are a value-driven organization, committed to partnering with our companies to drive outsized growth and exceptional outcomes for all.
CODI’s flexibility means we execute exits when the time is right, prioritizing the best outcomes for all stakeholders. With no restrictions on how long we hold, we maximize valuation creation through our unmatched flexibility. Our approach to opportunistic divestitures has generated more than $1.5 billion in realized gains.
Over the lifespan of our investments, we partner with our management teams to grow their businesses and maximize value for all stakeholders, including our owners and shareholders.
