Stone Arch Capital

No. Stone Arch Capital’s website states clearly: "The firm is no longer making investments in new platform businesses but is focused on growing and exiting our current portfolio companies." It will, however, evaluate potential add-on acquisitions for existing portfolio holdings. This places the firm in a managed-exit phase rather than active fundraising or deployment.

Charles B. Lannin and F. Clayton Miller are the firm’s named Partners. They lead all investment activities, supported by a Managing Director, two Directors, two Vice Presidents, and a CFO/CCO. The firm also draws on an external Advisory Council of senior executives for operational and industry perspective during investment evaluation.

The firm historically made control equity investments in lower-middle-market companies, often involving family business succession or growth transitions. Sectors included manufacturing, business services, distribution, and consumer products, with a geographic concentration in the Midwestern United States. It used conservative leverage and tailored each deal structure to the selling owner’s and management team’s specific circumstances.

No. The firm does not publicly list its current or past portfolio companies. Its website focuses on its investment philosophy, team, and updated strategy — managed exit and add-on acquisitions only — rather than providing case studies or named investments.

Stone Arch Capital is headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and has always concentrated its investments primarily in the Midwestern United States. The firm does not maintain additional offices, and its deal-sourcing and portfolio support have been regionally focused since inception.
