As certain as tides rise, cycles are inevitable. The biggest paydays in real estate are making the most of them. Each is its own opportunity. When markets are down, preserving capital is the game. Repositioning assets in ways not possible in up markets, like restructuring loans and killing debt -- you'd be surprised how reasonable bankers can be when the lights go out. Then, bank REPOs -- our favorite food group in downtimes. Some of Heatley Capital's best performers came from the 2008 crash. When markets are up, sell like crazy and look for products that can weather the storm when the market turns again. The most needful of products in 2018 are medical, assisted living, memory care and independent senior housing.

We are an independent partnership with a highly stable and experienced team. Since the early 1990s, we have backed management teams in more than 100 companies across a wide range of sectors, making us one of the most experienced investors in mid-sized businesses in the UK. In 2018 we raised over £500 million for Graphite Capital Partners IX, remaining committed to the mid-market and focusing on companies valued at between £30 million and £150 million. We believe companies of this size offer the highest potential returns to investors, as they are small enough to grow fast but have sufficient scale to employ high-quality management teams and generate diversified revenues. The relative attractiveness of different sectors will ebb and flow with economic cycles and changes in technology, consumer preferences, distribution methods and government policy. We a have a very strong track record in; Business Services, Health & Care, Education, Technology, the Consumer Sector, Industrials and Financial Services. Our senior management team has worked together for over 15 years and most have been at Graphite for over 20 years. We operate as a genuine partnership, with ownership and incentives broadly spread across the team, promoting stability and a strong, cohesive ethos. We enjoy what we do and like working together in an informal environment, taking collective responsibility for our decisions. We believe this comes across in our dealings with portfolio companies and plays a very important role in building strong partnerships with their management teams. As we typically only make two or three investments a year, backing the right management teams has been key to our success. We review large numbers of opportunities and prioritise those where we can build a strong relationship with management and where we see angles to add value.
