The Gores Group is a private equity firm focused on acquiring controlling interests in mature and growing businesses which can benefit from the firm's operating experience and flexible capital base. Gores' offices in North America and Europe serve its active investment programs in these regions.
Gores' operations experience provides a unique perspective on acquisitions
The firm combines the operational expertise and detailed due diligence capabilities of a strategic buyer with the seasoned M&A team of a traditional financial buyer. As a result, the firm looks to create value with its operating perspective, in addition to the more customary buy-out and financial engineering skills.
Gores has become a leading investor, primarily in the technology, telecommunications, business services and industrial sectors, having demonstrated over time a reliable track record of creating substantial value in its portfolio companies alongside management. Private equity-backed companies, like those that Gores invests in, have been shown to grow faster than other types of companies and Gores' private equity returns have consistently and significantly outperformed publicly traded indices.
