Adding Value

We work with management of our portfolio companies to help create long term financial returns for all shareholders. With the common goal of creating significant equity value, our team of investment professionals supports management by:

• Identifying and setting long-term goals and objectives
• Assisting with strategic and financial initiatives
• Introducing portfolio companies to potential customers or new business relationships
• Introducing new executives for board positions
• Providing negotiation, due diligence, transaction structuring and integration support for acquisitions
• Providing assistance with refinancings or restructurings of credit facilities
• Introducing portfolio companies to lenders, consultants and investment bankers
• Identifying exit opportunities for all shareholders, including a public market share offering, a strategic sale or sale to a financial buyer

Clairvest has helped identify and facilitate more than 175 acquisitions for its portfolio companies. We have helped raise more than $2.5 billion in debt and $550 million in third-party equity. Through our board and our industry relationships, we provide management with access to the advice and counsel of seasoned entrepreneurs and executives, who often participate on portfolio company boards.
