Pacolet is not merely a financial enterprise, but also a vehicle through which shareholder values are expressed in business strategies that improve the communities and environment in which we live. We are a family-owned investment company with a multi-generational investment horizon. Our long-term financial goals are to increase the intrinsic value of its business while meeting the dividend expectations of its shareholders. We embrace our shareholders’ mandate to operate at the intersection of profitability and values. As a company, we have a particular emphasis on sustainability, community involvement, and culture. We seek to demonstrate these values in tangible ways through our everyday business versus merely pronouncing our support. Strategically, we are direct investors – owning both operating companies and project investments. We look for defensible, middle-market niches within compelling trends. We invest with institutional discipline, but can be more patient about investment hold periods than rigid IRR investors, who seek to monetize gains as soon as possible.
