Tailwind’s strategy is built around active management of investments. Tailwind believes that successful private equity investing depends on a combination of identifying attractive assets, improving operations and financial performance and, importantly, exercising discipline in valuation on both acquisition and disposition. Tailwind’s investing approach includes an active, intensive, hands-on process of working with management to maximize value and returns.
