Mid-market focus
We work with companies valued in the C$30 million to C$600 million range.

Emphasis on growth
Our focus is on growth oriented businesses across most industries. We do not invest in real estate, pure commodity companies or start ups.

Team with depth and diversity
Our 20 professional staff provide the bench strength and skills to allow us to take on complex and sustained investment partnerships.

Constructive ownership model
We are dedicated to principles of fairness, honesty and open collaboration in all of our relationships.

Impressive track record
The Birch Hill team has achieved superior and consistent returns including an 18 percent cumulative average rate of EBITDA growth on actively employed capital since 1995. This record of success led to Birch Hill closing its fifth private equity fund, Birch Hill Equity Partners V, LP at the end of 2015. This fund was capped at $1.3 billion, exceeding its original target of $1 billion due to strong interest from both existing and new investors.
