OVERVIEW
 The diversified industries area encompasses a broad range of industries outside of Diamond Castle's four primary focus sectors, including manufacturing and service related industries. We maintain an opportunistic approach to investing outside of our target sectors in order to capitalize on our team's significant investment experience and the large number of businesses and transaction opportunities in other industry segments, and in order to diversify our portfolio across a broader range of industries.

DIAMOND CASTLE EXPERIENCE
Diamond Castle's team has been associated with many investments outside of our four focus sectors, in industries as diverse as flow-control products, school-affinity products, lottery management services, specialty chemicals, waste management services, and paper and forest products.

David Wittels coordinates Diamond Castle's activities in the diversified industries area.

AREAS OF FOCUS
Our focus in the diversified industries area is on sectors of the overall economy that are undergoing positive change or have strong underlying fundamentals, sectors with temporarily depressed valuations or that are out-of-favor with investors and therefore represent attractive buying opportunities, and sectors where our team has significant prior investment experience. We target businesses within these sectors that have sustainable competitive advantages that allow them to consistently outperform their industry peers, and situations where we believe we have an advantage from a transactional perspective.
