Strategy

Brookstone’s strategy is to invest alongside founding families and management teams in companies that offer significant opportunities for value creation through organic growth, strategic acquisitions and improvements in operating performance.

Creating investment situations where our goals as investors are directly aligned with those of management is one of the key factors to our success.
