Arcade Partners

Arcade Partners, LLC ("Arcade") is a private investment partnership that seeks to acquire and manage existing portfolios of private corporate debt and equity investments.

These assets may include:

• Private equity and mezzanine fund legacy assets (tail-ends and residuals from prior funds)
• Buyout debt and equity owned by hedge funds that are faced with liquidity needs or that have otherwise have determined that these assets are non-core investments
• Bank, insurance company and other financial firms’ private debt and equity assets that are likewise no longer considered core holdings
• Minority and co-investment positions acquired by pension funds and other traditional LP investors
• Assets of private equity funds with distressed GP / LP relationships or other situations in which the GPs have faced internal departures or the funds are otherwise under economic pressure

Arcade’s three principals have over 60 years of combined investment and operating experience, and bring to each transaction creativity and common sense. Our goal is to build value by working with management to identify and unlock the potential that each company has to excel, whether through strategic acquisitions, enhanced marketing relationships, targeted deployment of capital, or product line extensions.

Arcade's principals are also among the co-founders of Kapstone Paper and Packaging Corporation, which completed a $120 million initial public offering in 2005 (NASDAQ:KPPC), completed a $210 million acquisition of the kraft papers division of International Paper in 2007, and completed a $485 million purchase of the Charleston kraft division of MeadWestvaco in July 2008.
