Here is a summary of the attributes that are important to us. We keep these at the forefront as we deal with people of all types in the marketplace.

Good citizens in the business community – we understand and insist on fairness.

• The best business relationships are reciprocal. We pay very close attention to reciprocating relationships.
• We are patient operators – one step at a time. Our client relationships usually have a very long lead-time. It is counter-productive to push a transaction too hard, too fast.
• Consistency in the messages we send is important.
• Each person we meet has something of value to contribute.
• We want to set standards for ethics and regulation in private capital formation.
• We have a long history that directly supports the present construct of TCM’s business model. The business model is right for this marketplace.
• Focusing on any one industry is not part of our core strategy.
• We have helped a large number of businesses who were not clients. Volunteerism in the business world is in short supply. Volunteerism is also good for marketplace connectivity.
