Forest Hills Capital Management

Private equity investor funding middle-market growth

Overview

Forest Hills Capital Management provides private equity funding to middle-market companies. It invests equity to enable growth, turnarounds, or owner exits. The firm targets businesses with at least $20 million in annual sales and positive cash flow or profitability, including turnaround or distressed situations. While it invests across many industries, its preferred sectors include business services, publishing, branding, and franchising. Forest Hills seeks capital from committed investors and collaborates with family offices and high-net-worth individuals who want higher returns but do not have time to source and analyze investments. Its goal is to help portfolio companies reach the next level of growth or complete a successful exit, while delivering strong returns to its investors.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • Roger Aguinaldo remains a visible M&A speaker at the 2026 Distressed Investing Summit.
  • The firm markets committed capital and upper-middle-market access to family offices.

What critics are saying

  • The website shows a small Queens footprint, concentrating execution on one leader.
  • Public info shows no recent disclosed deals, increasing key-person and fundraising risk.
  • Distressed investing depends on credit markets; a 2026 slowdown would crush exits.

What makes Forest Hills Capital Management unique

  • Roger Aguinaldo founded Forest Hills Capital in 2008 with 30-plus years M&A experience.
  • The firm targets lower-middle-market, profitable, or cash-flow-positive turnaround investments.
