Profile
We spun out of Ziff Brothers Investments, a family investment firm, in 1997. Today, we manage over $4 billion in equity capital from a variety of investors including university endowments, foundations, financial institutions, and wealthy families. Our investor base includes a number of technology industry luminaries and represents a source of stable, long-term capital for us and a source of substantial strategic and commercial benefits to our portfolio companies.
We have built a successful track record of taking public companies private, buying founder-owned companies, investing growth equity, recapitalizing broken balance sheets and spinning out non-core businesses from corporations. We have also made numerous investments in public companies.
Some of our notable investments include Corel, LANDesk, Register.com, SafeNet, Technicolor, Teletrac, WatchGuard and WinZip.
