Cardinal Growth Corp. Cardinal Growth Corp. Investment ManagersFinance Cardinal Growth's investment arbitrage strategy seeks to acquire later stage, lower middle market companies and to grow them to position for an exit. Typical Cardinal exits include: sale to a strategic buyer, sale to a financial buyer, management buyouts, IPOs or recapitalizations. Cardinal typically makes investments of $3 million to $6 million, but has led and participated in significantly larger investments utilizing their extensive investor network. They focus on MBOs, recapitalizations, add-on acquisitions and internal expansions. Cardinal seeks opportunities to invest alongside proven, superior management teams in established manufacturing, business services, media/publishing and distribution companies. The firm looks for investment opportunities in niche companies with strong operating management teams.	Finance
