Vestar Capital Partners / Sector Focus

Experience At Work

Vestar’s investment team is organized into five broad groups, each focused on a particular sector of the economy and its products and services: Consumer, Diversified Industries, Healthcare, Financial, and Media & Communications.

Each group is headed by a senior partner, and is staffed by professionals who bring years of domain, transaction and operating experience. Structuring our investment team in this way, with a clear sector focus, provides several benefits to both sides of our partnership:

• It allows us to recognize investment opportunities that a more generalist firm might not fully appreciate, particularly in a sector’s more specialized areas.
• It allows us to have substantive discussions about the goals and needs of a particular company from the very first meeting with management, without the need for a lengthy primer in the fundamentals of the business.
• In complex transactions, it can significantly improve the chances of a successful outcome.
• It makes us a more valuable resource to our management teams, offering them a depth of knowledge and a range of industry contacts they can call on as needed to build value in their company.

We’ve made 65 investments across these sectors over the past 20 years. To learn more about our experience and approach in a particular sector, please choose the relevant link at right.
