Investments

Investing for the long term, and for our community.

We look for mutually beneficial collaborations where our involvement adds value and helps create something meaningful.

Joshua Green Corporation’s (JGC) long-term approach is reflected in our public equity and real estate investments, some of which were acquired prior to the Great Depression of the 1930s. In addition to substantial holdings in public companies and real estate, we actively invest in privately-owned businesses. This is an important part of our overall portfolio strategy.

We are interested in local and regionally based companies that are profitable, well-managed and make an important contribution to the community. Such contributions can take many forms, including employment of workers, civic involvement, ethical and responsible stewardship, and delivery of valuable products and services.

Our investment philosophy

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.

We invest for the long term

Investing for the very long term is embedded in our investment discipline. We are not obsessed with the quarter-by-quarter or even year-over year performance of their investments. This makes us ideal partners for businesses and owners in need of patient, supportive capital. Unlike other capital sources like lenders, hedge funds and private equity funds, we can remain invested in an asset for generations.

We engage in high-quality partnerships

Meaningful partnerships with our companies, employees, shareholders and community are at the heart of our business. Our partnerships create mutual benefit and reflect our conviction that there cannot be profit for one partner at the expense of another or the partnership will fail for all involved.

We are flexible

We believe that capable management teams or industry participants know better than us how to manage their operations. This is why we approach potential investment by first understanding the personal and professional attributes of potential partners and management teams with whom we’ll work. This assessment, coupled with our long-term investment orientation, allows us to be flexible with the type of security in which we invest, the percentage interest we might acquire, and the degree to which we’re involved in the governance of a business operation.

We are innovative

Our experience with highly varied investments allows us to bring a deep level of experience and sophistication to complex opportunities. We recognize the importance of seeking creative solutions for mutual benefit.
