Onex is one of North America’s oldest and most successful private equity firms and a leading asset manager.
Over 26 years, we have generated exceptional returns for shareholders and rapidly grown our assets under management. And while we can offer no guarantees of future performance, we believe there are certain facts about Onex that should be considered as part of an investment decision:
Attractive acquisitions, active ownership and timely realizations have enabled us to generate a
29% IRR on realized and publicly traded investments since 1984, with low volatility in our results – an
extraordinary track record.
Our shares have generated a
15% annual compound return over the past 20 years.
In 58 primary and 173 follow-on acquisitions, representing
US$40 billion in transaction value, we have experienced only three significant losses.
We have grown our assets under management since 2002 at a
62% compound annual growth rate. We now manage
US$12 billion of assets.
As a manager of funds, we
earn management fees that offset our corporate expenses. We earned management fees of US$88 million in 2009.
We also have the opportunity to
earn a carried interest in the profits of our limited partners that can augment the return we achieve on Onex’ invested capital. To date, Onex has received
total carried interest distributions of US$172 million, with approximately US$7.7 billion of third-party capital still subject to a carried interest.
There has been
very low turnover in our management team over the past 26 years. Our managing directors have an average tenure of 16 years.
