Heartwood Partners

With its predecessor founded in 1982, Heartwood Partners is a middle-market private equity firm focused on executing a unique higher-equity, cash-yielding strategy. Since inception, we have successfully invested in over 100 platform and add-on companies across several committed funds and various economic environments.

We partner with management teams to create a symbiotic ecosystem for their businesses and help them achieve their goals by utilizing roughly half the industry-standard debt levels, investing in growth initiatives, and actively supporting our portfolio companies with decades of value-creation and hands-on management experience.

Heartwood Partners has $1.1 billion of assets under management and is headquartered in Norwalk, CT.

As of September 2020, Capital Partners has rebranded to Heartwood Partners. The shift to Heartwood Partners continues to embrace the culture we have developed since 1982, one of integrity and partnership, but more clearly aligns with our unique investment approach.

The term “heartwood” refers to the solid, innermost part of a tree trunk, which yields the strongest timber and provides support to the tree. We believe this image captures our hallmark low-leverage, high-equity investment approach and integrated partnership style with our portfolio management teams.
