Overview
Eight Bar Partners LP (“EBP,” “the Firm,” “us,” “we,” and “our”) was formed by Thomas E.
Doster IV in 2015. Mr. Doster is the principal owner of EBP, through his ownership of Eight Bar
Partners HC, Inc., of which he is the sole owner.
Mr. Doster has
over
30 years of experience in financial services between his tenure at EBP,
Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and EBP. Prior to founding EBP, Mr. Doster was the global
head of Morgan Stanley Principal Investments, the on-balance sheet proprietary investing arm of
Morgan Stanley, and the head of the Global Workout Group, where he led the restructuring of
numerous distressed primary loans held on Morgan Stanley’s balance sheet. Prior to leading the
principal investment unit, Mr. Doster spent time in several different capacities within Morgan
Stanley’s Fixed Income Division, including heading Morgan Stanley’s special situations and
distressed debt analytics efforts.
EBP provides discretionary investment advice solely to private investment funds that seek to
generate significant capital appreciation primarily through distressed debt investments and equity
investments in private companies, including Eight Bar Financial Partners I, LP.
We plan to invest primarily in distressed and special situation opportunities as well as in equity
investments in established mid-market companies. We expect our investments to span across a
wide range of industries, in the United States and abroad, which will be in the form of both control
and non-control positions.
The investment management services that we provide to our funds primarily consist of
investigating, structuring and negotiating investments and dispositions, monitoring the
performance of investments and performing certain administrative services. These services are
provided pursuant to investment management agreements with the funds and/or the limited
partnership agreements of the funds, and as a result of a delegation of authority by the general
partner of each fund (via an affiliate). We provide tailored advice to each fund that takes into
account its investment objectives and the investment restrictions contained in its limited
partnership agreement.
