Their preferred equity investments are non-voting, lack put options, and have limited growth participation, enabling the firm to generate returns through monthly distribution payments instead of solely relying on exits. Alaris Equity Partners targets private businesses in Canada and the United States with historical free cash flow exceeding $7 million and proven management teams. With a successful track record, the firm has invested in over 20 companies since its inception, with its portfolio companies boasting a combined enterprise value of over $1 billion.[/description][ps]Non-control, preferred equity investments[/ps]
