Stated investment criteria

What Pacific Growth Investors says it buys

Read from Pacific Growth Investors’s own website in August 2026. This is what the firm says it buys, not what anyone has recorded it buying, and figures are shown in the currency the firm itself used - nothing here is converted. Every line links to the page it was read from.

Minimum revenue it states$20m1
Transaction typesRecapitalisation1

A stated mandate is a firm’s description of itself and was true of the page on the day it was read; firms widen and narrow what they will look at without updating the site. Pacific Growth Investors states that it will take either a controlling or a minority stake. Nothing here is a commitment by Pacific Growth Investors to consider any particular business, and nothing on this page is represented as being for sale.

SEC filings

What Pacific Growth Investors has raised

From this firm's own Form D filings. A fund files one within fifteen days of its first sale, under penalty of perjury, which makes these the hardest numbers on the page.

Vehicles filed1
Total capital raised$18m
Largest single vehicle$18m
Filing history2016
Smallest accepted commitmentNone stated
Filed fromCALIFORNIA

Form D covers US-domiciled vehicles raised from accredited investors. It will not capture a fund raised outside the United States, separately managed accounts, or capital deployed off balance sheet, so treat these as a floor rather than a total.

Regulatory record

How Pacific Growth Investors is registered

From this firm's Form ADV, the annual filing every registered and exempt investment adviser makes to the SEC.

Adviser statusExempt reporting adviser
Regulatory assets under managementNot reported by an ERA
Private funds advised6 · $93m gross
SEC adviser numberCRD 289390

An exempt reporting adviser is not required to report regulatory assets under management, so the blank above means the question was not asked rather than that the answer is unknown. Where a figure exists it is the gross asset value of the private funds the firm advises, which is a different and usually larger measure.
