ABOUT

Private Equity

In our Private Equity business, we look to acquire majority ownership of middle market companies and partner with strong management teams that we support through our CLP Value Creation Framework (CLP-VCF™). The companies we invest in are generally specialists within their segments and have identifiable value drivers that we can harness to optimize and grow the business. We are active across a broad range of transaction types including buyouts, recapitalizations, corporate carve-outs and restructurings.

We also provide solutions-oriented capital that meets the disparate needs of parties involved in complex situations. Our transaction configurations span the gamut of structured capital arrangements, and can include bridge financings, preferred, minority and structured equity purchases and similar solutions tailored to meet the needs of investors, equity owners, businesses and their stakeholders who find themselves in transitional situations.

Private Credit

In our Private Credit business, we provide creative, flexible debt financings to middle market businesses. We look to be a constructive partner to management teams, equity owners, businesses and other stakeholders, often in situations of transition, through appropriately structured financings for a variety of capital needs relating to refinancings, recapitalizations, organic growth objectives and strategic priorities.

We will also purchase single credits as well as portfolios of debt securities from sellers looking to generate liquidity or manage their portfolio construction. We look to work constructively with the underlying businesses and their stakeholders to provide them with appropriate financings for their capital structures and liquidity needs.
