Executive endorsements of Housatonic are for illustrative purposes, designed to attract business development contacts, and should not be construed as a client or investor testimonial of Housatonic’s investment advisory services. All such endorsements are from current or former portfolio company leadership about Housatonic’s ability to provide services to their companies. Certain executives are also investors in Housatonic’s investment vehicles, and as such, there is an inherent conflict in that those executives have an incentive to provide favorable reviews of Housatonic’s business practices for the benefit of the investment vehicles in which they hold a personal ownership interest. Housatonic has not, directly or indirectly, paid any compensation to such individuals for their endorsements. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

In Memoriam

Honoring Our
Co-Founders

The Housatonic family honors the memory and legacy of our Co-Founders Eliot Wadsworth, who passed away on October 11 at the age of 84, and Michael Jackson, who passed away on October 10 at the age of 86.

Eliot and Michael will always have a special place in our hearts for their roles in co-founding Housatonic Partners with Will Thorndike in 1994. Their vision to create a firm dedicated to partnering with and building outstanding and durable middle-market companies was realized and surpassed over the last three decades.

On behalf of our entire Housatonic family, we honor Eliot’s and Michael’s contributions to our Firm, and share our condolences with their families, friends, and all those they touched during their distinguished careers.
