Charlesbank is led by our nine managing directors, who began working together in 1991. In forming Charlesbank, the partners saw the opportunity to create an investment firm with the highest standards of integrity, personal commitment and professional investment performance. Over the years, no partner has left Charlesbank, and our investment staff has both deepened in experience and grown in number. As generalists, we are enriched by the broad industry experience and diverse backgrounds our staff bring to the investment table, and as a group we are grounded in a common dedication to our firm, our limited partners and our management teams.
