FULHAM & CO, INC.


A. FIRM DESCRIPTION

Fulham & Co., Inc., a Massachusetts corporation, is a family-owned business located in Wellesley, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. The company is managed by brothers John N. Fulham III and Timothy W. Fulham, who have spent the majority of their careers with the company subsequent to completing their formal education and work experience in the fields of law and accounting, respectively.

Fulham & Co. traces its roots to a family-owned firm founded by John and Timothy’s grandfather in 1917 that their father, John (“Jack”) N. Fulham Jr., joined in 1947. For three generations, the company owned and managed commercial fishing and related businesses in New England.

In the late 1960s, Jack Fulham began to sell the operating businesses owned by Fulham & Co. and, with the aid of his sons John and Timothy, transitioned and built Fulham & Co. into a successful investment banking boutique, specialized in providing financial advice to, and assistance in negotiating permanent capital for, family-owned enterprises located primarily in the northeast United States. In addition to John and Timothy, the professional staff includes two operating partners—both of whom have extensive experience in day-to-day management of manufacturing enterprises—and a controller.

In 1984, Fulham & Co. began to acquire companies for its own account while remaining active in investment banking. From 1993 through 2002, Fulham & Co. focused exclusively on acting as the lead principal in acquisitions of U.S.-based manufacturers of commercial and industrial products. In 2002, Fulham & Co. organized its first private equity limited partnership ($115 million) and 2005, it raised a second fund ($165 million). In 2019, Fulham & Co. organized its third fund - Washington Gothic, LP to participate in certain strategic stand alone investments. Fulham & Co. serves as Manager of each of the partnerships, which has invested in U.S.-based manufacturing companies. References to a “Fund” or the “Funds” or the “three funds” means the three funds referred to above.

Fulham and Co. is also the investment adviser to four (4) standalone closed-end private equity pooled investment entities (the “Standalone Investments”), which have each invested in a separate single operating company: Conceptual Holdings LLC ($19.5 million), Powerful Holdings LLC ($5 million), Squirt Gun Holdings, Inc ($17 million), and Sealed Grip LLC ($12.5 million). Due to the limited scope of the operations of the Standalone Investments and close-knit investor groups, detailed information regarding the Standalone Investments are not included in this brochure. Fees and expenses are set forth in the Operating Agreements for each such vehicle and accordingly all Fund discussion herein relates solely to the three specified Funds.

PRINCIPAL OWNERS

John N. Fulham III is a principal of Fulham & Co. and co-manages the firm with his brother Tim. John joined Fulham & Co. in 1978 and has played a key role in all of its activities since then. From 1974 to 1978, John practiced law in Boston, first as an associate specializing in corporate tax and securities litigation with Bingham, Dana & Gould (1974 to 1975), then as an assistant district attorney for Suffolk County, Massachusetts (1975 to 1976), and finally in private practice (1976 to 1978), during which period he also ran for state office. John received an AB, magna cum laude, from Harvard College in 1971 and an LLB from Stanford Law School in 1974.

Timothy W. Fulham is a principal of Fulham & Co. and co-manages the firm with his brother John. Tim joined Fulham & Co. in 1984 and played a leading role in its investment and merchant banking activities until 1989, when he took a two-year leave of absence to serve as chief financial officer of a client company: Fresh Fields Markets of Rockville, Maryland, a company Fulham & Co. assisted in establishing. Tim returned to Fulham & Co. in 1991, before Fresh Fields’ sale to a public company, and has since played a key role in all of Fulham & Co.’s activities. From 1982 to 1984, Tim worked as a staff accountant at Deloitte Haskins & Sells in New York where he became licensed as a CPA. He received an AB in English from Boston College in 1980 and an MBA from Columbia University School of Business in 1982. B. TYPES OF ADVISORY SERVICES Fulham & Co., through its private equity funds, invests in good, well-managed companies that are leaders in their field, provides them with the resources they need, and allows them the freedom to grow and thrive. The company generally invests in businesses that:


• have sales between $10 and $50 million (with sales primarily to commercial and industrial consumers),
• earn high margins, and
• hold a leading position in a niche market.

It is Fulham & Co.’s belief and experience that there tends to be less competition for investments in companies that fall into the aforementioned sales range, making it possible to invest in high-quality companies for relatively low multiples of existing cash flow. Fulham & Co. also believes that, as a family-owned firm itself, it relates well to owners of such businesses, and as a result frequently is considered the preferred buyer by private sellers, who often are concerned with more than price alone when contemplating a sale.

C. TAILORED SERVICES

Fulham & Co. does not tailor its advisory services to the individual needs of the investors in its client entities, its clients’ limited partners, and investors may not impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities except under such limited circumstances as explicitly stipulated in any written arrangements with investors.

D. WRAP FEE PROGRAMS

Fulham & Co. does not participate in any wrap fee programs.

E. CLIENT ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT As of December 31, 2019, Fulham & Co. has approximately $237,113,000 in assets under management on behalf of its private equity funds and Standalone Investment vehicles, all of which are managed on a discretionary basis. Fulham & Co. does not manage any assets on a non-discretionary basis. please register to get more info
