Fairfax Partners has managed private equity funds and investment partnerships since 1989. Since its inception, Fairfax and its investors have started more than 15 companies and invested in nearly 40 private equity investments. During this period Fairfax Partners has invested in both leveraged buyout acquisition-oriented deals as well as more traditional early stage investment opportunities. The firm has had its greatest successes acquiring, and then building upon, platform acquisitions in industries that are facing major structural change.

Located in Washington, D.C., Fairfax has the ability and expertise to successfully navigate complex regulatory issues that can impact its investments. At a time of increasing government involvement and influence in a broad range of industries, such as healthcare and telecommunications, Fairfax seeks investments in businesses that can be transformed through the successful execution of a sophisticated regulatory strategy.

The Fairfax Media Group has recently been established to invest in underperforming or underutilized assets in the media and telecoms sectors. Drawing upon its partners’ extensive industry expertise, together with their operating, financial and regulatory knowledge, the group works with existing owners and management teams in identifying opportunities for cash generation and value maximization in response to and in anticipation of regulatory and technological change.
