For over 20 years, CIVC has actively and consistently invested in select affinity areas, including Business Services and Financial Services. These affinity areas offer CIVC investment opportunities across numerous attractive, high growth niches. We believe this industry focused approach has resulted in our strong historical investment results by creating advantages in selecting and working with portfolio companies to achieve our collective strategic and financial goals.

The Partners at CIVC have worked together on average for 18 years and the CIVC team has collectively over 140 years of investing experience. During this time, our people have developed deep industry knowledge through our affinity area approach and a sensitivity to the challenges and opportunities of companies that fit our size and industry criteria. This approach has enabled us to be patient investors over many business cycles, to be better partners for our management teams, and to maximize our contributions to our investments.

By consistently adhering to our strategy for nearly two decades, CIVC has generated strong returns for its investors through varying economic, industry, and financing cycles. Over this period, we have completed 52 investments, representing over $1.3 billion of invested capital, and realized 41 exits. Most important, our realized returns have largely been generated from earnings growth rather than multiple arbitrage or financial engineering. This approach has enabled CIVC to be long term focused and to deliver more consistent returns over time. |
