We provide our portfolio companies with the capital and ongoing support necessary to realize their potential. As long-term investors, we look to build value through avenues such as: organic growth or acquisitions, operational or financial improvements, geographic expansion, product-line development and increased brand awareness. Our involvement in an investment ideally lasts from three to seven years. When the appropriate time for exit arrives, Charlesbank and management typically consider a number of options, which might include a public offering, strategic sale to another company or sale to another private equity firm. We strive to time and structure an exit to reflect the interests and investment objectives of our investors and management partners. We generally agree on the circumstances for an exit before we make an investment. These circumstances might include: The availability of less-expensive capital to our partners Success in achieving our joint strategic or development objectives The emergence of a strategic acquirer
