An important component of our client relationships is our willingness to become a financial partner. T.R. Winston has been investing its own capital in companies and enterprises since its founding. These direct investments, ranging from small positions in public and private companies to outright acquisitions, have given us additional operating experience in a variety of industries that has led to the growth of our corporate finance activities.

Our investment philosophy is one of partnership. We are interested in finding managers who need growth capital and who want a knowledgeable and reliable financial partner. We look for companies with uncommon abilities and with a capacity to grow. We have been long-term investors in a wide variety of industries, including oil and gas, financial services, telecommunications, aerospace, data processing, manufacturing and retailing. Making investments for our own account enables us to gain hands-on experience from participating in business ownership. We commit the firm's own capital to proprietary investing and trading activities. This experience has proven invaluable to our corporate finance clients facing strategic financial decisions. Our many satisfied partners are a testimony to T.R. Winston's emphasis on building enduring long-term relationships.
