The SPECTRUM Group (TSG) is the solution for operating companies and institutional investors that require sophisticated analysis, insightful market intelligence and “ground truth” due diligence to achieve their goals in A&D and government-related markets. Our experience and insights are often invaluable, especially in the current environment as federal budget priorities change; new regulatory requirements are introduced; and major players move to improve their positions and returns. TSG brings to bear the skills of former high-level military officers and government officials; senior executives from top prime-contractors; and experienced financial and Wall Street-veterans of organizations such as Jefferies; William Blair & Co; UBS; and Wachovia. We deliver proprietary insights and analysis that make a difference. For more than 15 years we’ve generated results for leading institutional investors such as The Carlyle Group, American Securities, Behrman Capital, Leonard Green, Arlington Capital, J.H. Lehman and many others. “For those focused on the federal sector, The SPECTRUM Group is a great resource for insight,” said Ray Whiteman of The Carlyle Group. Our services include:
Our engagements often involve multiple services over time, building value for our client at each step. Due diligence is among the most important phases. Our comprehensive diligence solutions employ a unique and proven methodology, which includes: Review of major macro trends – political, military, economic – relevant to the company; detailed analysis of budgetary issues; management interviews; site visits to key operational areas and/or production facilities; in-depth review of contracts and related issues; surveys of key customers; deep programmatic review; investigation of the company’s reputation among key decision makers; overview of the competitive landscape; special factors review (e.g., environmental); and sophisticated financial analysis of the findings. This process – including the unmatched ability of our former senior officials to “read between the lines” -- produces unique “ground truth” about the target company and its prospects, along with the financial context needed to draw the fullest possible picture and provide decision support to the prospective buyer. Our team has experience in many areas; the following are just some of them:
