SEARCH FUND INFORMATION

Conceived in 1984, the investment vehicle colloquially referred to as a "search fund" is a private investment fund in which investors financially support an entrepreneur's efforts to locate and acquire a privately held company. In recent years, many MBA graduates and experienced investors have applied this approach to create significant value and to identify attractive growth opportunities .

“A search fund joins a promising, recent MBA with strong advisors. Investors are buying an option: ‘find a company and bring it to us.’”

-Irving Grousbeck, Stanford Professor, inventor of the search fund

A 2007 study of 95 “first-time” search funds by Stanford University’s Center for Entrepreneurial Studies found average investor returns to be over 50%.

The Zucker Group employs the search fund model to locate, acquire, and increase the value of existing businesses. Through the identification, acquisition, operation and growth of such businesses, The Zucker Group seeks to achieve significant returns for its investor base.
