Whether the firm invests subordinated debt or equity, the team has an ‘equity-oriented’ mentality that aligns its interests with those of the sponsor and other capital participants. Over the course of PNC Erieview’s evolution, the firm has made control investments, minority/growth investments and has been a prolific provider of subordinated debt and equity co-investment (the sole strategy since 1999). As a result, the team has a unique and valuable understanding of the issues, challenges, and opportunities facing private equity sponsor partners and maintains a long-term value creation perspective.
