SMALL FUND ADVANTAGES WITH ENHANCED TERMS
Steward builds diversified portfolios of small buyout, growth equity, special situations, and infrastructure funds using the Anchor Strategy. In addition, we seek to partner with emerging and diverse teams, launching their first and second institutional funds. Our lens focuses on innovation and disruption in the healthcare, consumer, industrial and technology sectors in the large and inefficient U.S. Middle Market.
We seek to improve the risk-return equation through participation in GP economics while managing risk through governance and disciplined underwriting. Our strategic role as a catalyst to smaller funds provides both capital and expertise at a pivotal moment. In addition, Steward’s Mentor-Anchor Program brings value-added expertise to support growth.
