We seek to add value to our portfolio companies by providing financial and human capital. The management teams of our portfolio companies operate with autonomy, and we do not desire to be involved in day-to-day operations. Rather, our value-added comes in the form of:

• Board-level support - acting as a "sounding board" for strategic and
  operational initiatives;

• Targeted analytical support - leveraging Clearview's operational
  and consulting expertise; and,

• Access to our network of relationships, including those of our
  Limited Partners.

In addition, we assist those portfolio companies seeking to grow through acquisition by leveraging our expertise in identifying, negotiating and completing add-on acquisitions.

We believe strongly in maintaining open and effective communications with our management teams, investors and lenders. Our philosophy is to "do what we say we are going to do", which has earned us a reputation for trustworthiness and integrity that serves as the foundation of our business.
