Firm Overview

 

BKF Capital Group, Inc. (BKF), founded in 1954, is a publicly traded company seeking entrepreneurial acquisition opportunities for our capital. BKF is looking to generate value opportunities where a creative approach to capital can create mutually beneficial results for not only our shareholders but for our acquired businesses and their management teams.

 

BKF is looking for acquisition targets that show growth characteristics at a reasonable valuation.  We are seeking to purchase operating companies and/or controlling interests in such companies either through direct investment or acquisition.  We believe that our seasoned team and our financial solutions can add and create value for our shareholders.

 

 

Criteria

 

BKF is currently seeking targets in both growth and defensible industries. We focus on targets with revenues greater than $2 million with a positive profitability trend.  BKF understands the challenges growing companies face. We look for a focused management team with clear direction and a strong business plan. BKF recognizes that a growing company may be refining their product or services, systems, controls and management teams and BKF can be a partner in this process both with capital and expertise.

 

 

Strategic Direction & Opportunities

 

BKF is returning to the Company’s roots in asset management, forming two subsidiaries.  One will register as an investment advisor and one will act as general partner of a limited partnership investment fund. In the near-term, BKF expects to seed the limited partnership fund, focusing on a value approach to investing. Over the long term, BKF intends to grow its asset management business by acquiring or seeding other alternative investment funds with unique investment strategies and/or emerging portfolio managers. BKF’s goal is to grow revenues and income over time and achieve valuation multiples in line with other publicly-traded comparable companies.

 

BKF plans to:

 

  • Rebuild its' asset management operations
  • Earn fee income from assets under management
  • Generate performance fees from liquidating investments
  • Use net operating loss carry-forwards to minimize tax liabilities
