This approach is unique in that Bertram is not singularly focused on achieving its investment returns through financial engineering and the extraction of near-term cash flow. Instead, the firm is keenly focused on reinvestment to achieve the growth and expansion that will cement a company’s longer term market position and ensure its ultimate success. http://www.bertramcapital.com/investment/index.html
