So today we're going to do a deep dive on a company you may never have heard of. It's called Asurion and we're delighted to be here this morning with its co-founder, currently chairman, Kevin Taweel. Asurion actually has several claims to fame measured by MOIC, multiple of invested capital, a metric we obviously care deeply about on this podcast. I believe it is both the best search fund investment ever and the best institutional private equity deal, period.
The company, which was originally called Road Rescue Inc., turned 28 years old in July, and for investors who held their investment for the entire holding period, their MOIC is well into the thousands. To put a finer point on that, a dollar invested in the original purchase of Road Rescue in 1995 has grown at a compound annual rate of over 61% through the most recent transaction in 2021, translating into an MOIC north of 5275x.
