Investing in partnerships that are trust-based, long term relationships in order to build something meaningful.

With deep roots and a rich heritage in Washington State, dating back to the 1890s, Joshua Green Corporation (JGC) explores and invests in promising situations as opposed to specific business sectors. We seek to deploy our capital to enable the strategic endeavor of partners and managers.

We view our investment partnerships as trust-based, long-term relationships — not just transactions. We look for mutually beneficial collaborations where our involvement adds value and helps create something meaningful. Our strategic partnerships enable us to gain competitive advantage through access to resources, markets, technologies, capital and people. Investing for the very long term is a key principle embedded in our investment discipline.

Timeline

What We Do

Our primary investment objectives are long-term capital growth, the generation of current cash flow, and to contribute to communities.

JGC has substantial holdings in public companies and real estate and is an active investor in privately owned businesses.

What We Do

Our investment activity is dynamic and diverse. We buy or invest in local and regionally-based companies that have capable management teams, demonstrate excellent long-term business prospects, and are civic minded.

We also assist locally-based corporations looking to expand or relocate within Seattle or the region, businesses seeking guidance with generational transitions, and businesses requiring a flexible source of liquidity.

What We Do

We bring expertise, creativity, experience and a disciplined approach to complex opportunities while offering alternative solutions to conventional sources of capital.

Our long-term orientation sets us apart from other financial investors, making JGC an ideal partner for many of the region’s leading companies.

Our Values

Our two primary objectives are to achieve sustained growth in asset values over extended periods of time, and to maintain and grow annual distributions for shareholders. Our investments reflect our core principles and values.

Authenticity

We are who we say we are. We are faithful to both our heritage and our long-term aspirations. We continue to be known for our earnest approach, expertise, intellectual creativity, thoughtful perspective and quiet gravitas—all of which are integral to our identity. We have faith in who we are as the source of our success.

Trust

Our company is based on trust—between us and our family of business partners. We earn trust by doing what we say and saying what we do. We work with honesty and integrity, and we expect the same honesty and integrity from our partners. Our long-term success is built on solid, trust-based relationships.

Respect

We treat our business, shareholder and community partners with respect, and work to earn their respect in all we do. We strive to enable and empower our partners to do what they do best, just as we focus on what we do best. We continue to preserve the Green family legacy even as we bring 21st century business sensibilities to our investment decisions and partnerships.

Responsibility

We feel a deep sense of responsibility toward our family and business partners and toward our community. This has informed how we have built our business and our community for more than 100 years, and remains a powerful source of inspiration and commitment for us.

Partnership

Meaningful partnerships are the foundation for our success. The most successful partnerships build bridges, and the synergy that comes from them (our shareholders, our community and our companies) is what enables us to make continuous improvements. By sharing with others, we can direct our resources and capabilities to what we consider most important. With trust as a foundation, our partners can share their know-how to achieve results that exceed the sum of the parts. Trust frees partners to respond together to the unexpected, which is essential for mutual creativity, fostering enthusiasm, and ensuring the best performance from everyone. Our strategic alliances enable us to gain competitive advantage through access to resources, including markets, technologies, capital and people.

Our Rich Heritage

Joshua Green was a sternwheeler captain, businessman and a banker, investing in transportation, shipping, car ferries and banks. We continue that tradition today with a diverse portfolio of local investments.
