Trimaran Fund Management ("Trimaran" or the "Firm") is a middle market private equity firm. We seek long-term capital appreciation by making privately negotiated equity or equity-oriented investments in niche middle-market companies. Trimaran typically invests $25 to $100 million of equity in transactions ranging in value from under $100 million to $1 billion.

We are experienced investors. Since 1995, we have invested $1.6 billion of equity in fifty-nine portfolio companies in transactions totaling in excess of $10 billion.

We have been an innovator. The Firm and its predecessor were early investors in telecom and Internet businesses. We led the first LBO of an integrated electric utility, TNP Enterprises, the parent of Texas-New Mexico Power Company. We have made ground-breaking investments in electric transmission, ethnic consumer businesses and also special education.

We have developed a systematic approach to identifying markets with attractive growth prospects, in which businesses can be acquired or formed at attractive valuations, and then growing their earnings.
