Regulatory Disclosures

RFE Management Corp . (“RFE”) is an investment adviser registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Registration of an investment adviser with the SEC does not imply a certain level of skill or training. Further information about RFE is also available in Form ADV Part 2, filed with the SEC, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.

All information contained on this website, including any transaction described therein, is for informational purposes only. Statements contained on this website that are not historical facts are based on current views, forward-looking expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the RFE team. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors. You should not rely on these statements as if they were facts.

The investments and strategies discussed throughout the website may not be suitable for all investors and are not obligations of or guaranteed by RFE or any of its affiliates. Nothing on this website is to be construed as a solicitation to offer investment advice or services. Information about investing in RFE funds is only available in the form of Private Placement Memoranda and other offering documents. These documents contain information to help investors evaluate RFE funds’ investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses, among other factors, before considering an investment. By using this website, you agree that RFE is not liable for any action you take or decision you make in reliance on any website content.

This website contains information about a selection of RFE’s investments. These company case studies are intended as examples that clarify and typify RFE’s investment approach, not as an exhaustive catalogue of RFE investments. Past results are no guarantee of future results and no representation is made that an investor will or is likely to achieve results that are similar to those of the companies described.

These investments were not chosen for their profitability. Prior investments may have been made under different market, economic or other conditions than those in which future investments and/or strategies will be pursued, and as a result may not be replicated. Investors may lose part or all of their investment capital or face various other risks as described in the applicable offering documents.

Portfolio companies described on this website do not purport to represent all portfolio company investments made by RFE. Not all of our portfolio investments had the characteristics, prospects, or projected successes highlighted. Past results are not indicative, nor a guarantee, of future results, which may vary.

Testimonials and endorsements reflect RFE’s and portfolio company management’s opinions and beliefs regarding the company and the investment. Such opinions and beliefs are subjective, do not represent a complete assessment of the company, the market or RFE’s overall investment performance and cannot be independently verified. Endorsements from portfolio company founders and executives are offered as references for purposes of demonstrating the benefits of working with the RFE team and not for the purpose of soliciting investors. Such executives receive(d) a salary and/or other economics from the respective portfolio company and may be investors in RFE funds. No executives were compensated for their endorsements. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid endorsements in that portfolio company executives are or were employed by or invested in a current or former RFE portfolio company.

Third Party Awards and Designations

The awards and designations presented on this website are the opinion of the respective parties conferring the award or designation and not of RFE.  Such persons are unaffiliated with RFE, and the full extent of the scope of firms and data included in the related surveys or evaluations is unknown.

The “Top PE Firms in the Middle Market” is a program designed by GCI Publishing to acknowledge and promote small and mid-sized leading private equity firms in the middle market. Winning firms are selected based upon their track record, reputation, leadership and third-party endorsement. The firms all have fund sizes of $125MM to $850MM and have headquarters in the United States. RFE did not pay a fee to receive this ranking but did pay CGI Publishing for licensing of the logo and reference to the award.

Inc. Magazine awards a place on the list of the “Best Private Equity Firms for Entrepreneurs” based on a survey of firms that are identified by the magazine’s editors or that apply for the award. Firms under consideration are evaluated by the magazine using a proprietary system that takes into consideration both portfolio company data and interviews with current and former portfolio company personnel. RFE paid fees in conjunction with its application for, and promotion of, the 2023 Founder-Friendly Investors List.

BluWave’s third annual Top Private Equity Innovator Awards recognize the top 2% of private equity firms that differentially embrace proactive due diligence, transformative value creation, modern private equity firm operations and corporate citizenship practices.

The Top Private Equity Innovator awardees were selected by a cross-functional committee that assessed candidates in consultation with a broad universe of limited partners, investment bankers, industry thought leaders and service providers in the private equity ecosystem. As part of their selection process, the committee evaluated more than 5,000 private equity firms and utilized more than 75 different factors, incorporating more than 400,000 data points.
