Certain time-tested principles underlie every activity at United Fence Contractors. We
strongly believe these principles enable us and the entities in which we invest to develop
long-standing partnerships and to build significant enterprises that generate respect and
admiration from all with whom they are associated.
Act with the highest integrity - Having grown from closely held businesses that have
operated on average for more than 20 years each, we believe there is nothing more
valuable than our reputation for treating others fairly and honestly and for developing a
bond with the partners.
Challenge conventional wisdon - We understand that the best opportunities often
require us to swim against the tide, search for potential in areas that are outside the
mainstream or recognize value that others have overlooked. Such under-explored areas,
when paired with a strong management team and a solid capital base, offer the greatest
opportunity to create significant value and generate superior returns.
Maintain flexibility - Given the rapid pace at which businesses, technologies and the
capital markets evolve, we believe building a small, talented team that can nimbly
respond to ever-changing opportunities and challenges is the key to our success as a firm
and that of the companies in which we invest.
Reward risk-taking and performance - We believe that those who help create value
should share in the rewards. We are committed to investing in situations in which all of
the stakeholders, including management, participate in the upside created by their
contributions.
