For Capital Partners
LSG offers capital partners a permanent capital structure designed for investors who believe that time — not transactions — is the primary driver of superior returns.
Target Returns
LSG generates returns by acquiring essential services businesses at intrinsic value and compounding their free cash flows over an indefinite hold period — not by financial engineering or exit multiple expansion. Returns are a function of the quality of the businesses we own and the duration we hold them.
Capital partners receive distributions as the underlying businesses generate earnings — no need to wait for a liquidity event that may never come on an artificial timeline. Distribution timing is a function of portfolio performance, not a predetermined schedule.
GP Economics
2.0% annual on committed capital, stepping down to 1.5% at $20M AUM. Sized to cover operations — not to generate profit.
15% above a 6% preferred return hurdle — below the industry standard of 20%/8%. GP clawback provision included. LP-friendly by design.
GP ownership in each portfolio company grows from 5% toward 90% as LPs achieve MOIC thresholds. LP capital is returned first, at every stage.
Equity Reversion Schedule
GP ownership in each portfolio company scales with LP returns. No GP equity is earned until LPs achieve their hurdle. The structure ensures complete alignment.
| LP MOIC Threshold | GP Ownership | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Below 2.0× | 5% | No reversion |
| 2.0× | 25% | Gate triggered |
| 2.5× | 50% | Accelerating |
| 2.75× | 75% | Near-complete |
| 3.0× + | 90% | Complete — 10% LP residual retained |
