Frequently asked questions
How does GHCO source deal flow?
GHCO's corporate development team sources proprietary and bilateral transactions, often from sector networks in healthcare, education, and industrial services. The firm has a known preference for platform acquisitions led by existing management teams. It does not run a blind-pool fund model (per SEC filings).
What is GHCO's posture on co-investments or joint ventures?
GHCO occasionally co-invests alongside private equity sponsors in control-oriented buyouts, but views itself as a long-term holder, not a financial sponsor. It also enters joint ventures for Kaplan's international operations (e.g., JVs in China and Southeast Asia). It does not syndicate co-investment opportunities to external LPs.
