Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Five Points Capital?
Three Managing Partners — Whit Edwards, Jonathan Blanco, and Marshall White — lead the firm’s investment activities. They are supported by Partners Brad Burton and Brad Clark, and Principals Jason Prather and Jeff Tiani. The team has worked together for an extended period, and the firm emphasizes a collective, relationship-driven approach to deploying capital.
How does Five Points Capital source its deal flow?
Five Points Capital sources opportunities through long-standing relationships with committed sponsors, independent sponsors, management teams, and direct lending partners. The firm does not disclose a proprietary sourcing platform or a formal co-investor club. Its 25-year track record in the lower middle market, combined with a single-office presence in Winston-Salem, suggests a network-driven origination model built on repeat interactions with regional and national sponsors.
What investment structures does Five Points Capital use?
The firm provides unitranche debt, second-lien debt, subordinated debt, and equity co-investment for buyouts, recapitalizations, acquisitions, and refinancings. Deal sizes range from $5 million to $30 million in companies generating at least $3 million in EBITDA. This flexible mandate allows Five Points to participate across the capital structure within a single transaction.
Which sectors does Five Points Capital explicitly avoid?
Five Points Capital publicly lists its target industries as business services, commercial and industrial services, healthcare services and products, distribution/logistics, niche manufacturing, and education. Sectors outside these areas — including technology, energy, consumer retail, and financial services — are not mentioned as areas of activity, indicating the firm avoids them in favor of a concentrated lower-middle-market industrial and services focus.
Does Five Points Capital participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm’s disclosed operations focus exclusively on direct lending and equity co-investment in individual lower-middle-market companies. There is no indication on its website or in available research that it makes fund commitments to other GPs or operates a fund-of-funds program, despite an internal classification that may suggest historical activity.
