“It was a busy and productive quarter for our team. In addition to closing on the previously announced acquisition of Northfield Park, we added two other investments to the CEP VII portfolio, in each case backing accomplished entrepreneurs who have invested alongside us and are fully committed to what we’re building together. One of these businesses, our 11 th in environmental services, reflects the depth of experience we’ve built in a sector we know intimately. The other is our first step into luxury experiential travel, a new domain we entered after months of effort that led us to a company which fits nicely with our investment thesis,” said Ken Rotman, CEO of Clairvest. “With two additional investments completed since quarter-end, we carry strong momentum into the rest of the year as we continue building out the Clairvest Equity Partners VII portfolio.”
