Strategy
A Hands-on, Repeatable Strategy for Transforming Middle Market Aerospace and Defense Businesses
Overview of Investment Strategy
Liberty Hall invests across the totality of the global aerospace and defense industry, including companies serving the aerospace, defense and space end markets. Our research-driven investment strategy focuses on identifying attractive segments for investment within our target end markets. We typically invest $50–$150 million of equity capital over time in control buyouts of middle market businesses. We also selectively pursue significant minority investments and often partner with other investors to execute larger transactions.
We leverage our deep industry knowledge to develop and execute strategic and operational plans to transform middle market aerospace and defense companies into larger, more capable and diverse strategic assets. We seek to execute a repeatable “buy and build” investment strategy designed to accelerate growth through organic investments and strategic acquisitions and, ultimately, to build better businesses.

Stewardship
We approach stewardship as a core investment responsibility centered on integrity, transparency and long-term value creation for investors and stakeholders. We seek to build trust through disciplined governance, consistent engagement and a strong culture of professionalism across our firm and portfolio companies.
As a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment, we incorporate responsible investment considerations, including environmental, social and governance considerations, into our underwriting, investment selection and ongoing risk management processes. Responsible Investment factors are evaluated alongside financial and operational metrics to support informed decision making, responsible ownership and sustainable business performance over time.
