Charlesbank is led by our founding managing directors, who have worked together for over a decade. In forming Charlesbank, the founding partners saw the opportunity to create an investment firm with the highest standards of integrity, personal commitment and professional investment performance. They are supported today by nine additional investment professionals. 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.
