Selway Capital invests in the information and communications technology sector including areas that are being transformed by the convergence of high-performance computing, global high-speed telecommunications and advanced sensing and data analysis. This includes network hardware & software, wireless communications, distributed computing & interoperable web-based services and rich media creation & distribution infrastructure. The firm also targets investments where they can capitalize on long-term growth trends in the defense and security sector including surveillance and monitoring, rapid deployment communications technologies for military and emergency situations, software for operationally intensive environments, data archiving, searching and retrieval and other defense technologies. Selway Capital invests in expansion-stage companies that are largely past product or technology development risk and can demonstrate some level of market validation. They invest in early-stage companies with exceptional technology or other proprietary advantages that are poised to capitalize on major market trends. Selway Capital also invests in later-stage middle-market buyout opportunities that are attractively priced and offer upside growth potential. Selway Capital prefers to acquire controlling positions in their portfolio companies, but they can invest with their investment partners as necessary. Selway Capital looks for companies in large growing markets with sustainable competitive advantages, strong management, an attractive financial model and the potential for a successful exit. They look for competitive advantages based on a unique market position, a novel competitive strategy, specialized expertise, patents or trade secrets. Companies should be able to deliver strong margins and should have low to medium capital intensity and a high degree of financial and operational scalability. Selway Capital seeks investment opportunities where strong valuations exist for comparable public and private companies.
