The investments can be in the form of control, recapitalization and growth capital with a target equity commitment of $15 million to $50 million per transaction with enterprise values between $20 million and $150 million.

- GF Capital Added Value - The Fund expects to invest in companies in which the expertise and contacts of GF Capital or its network of families and entrepreneurs have the potential to provide a competitive advantage.
