One of these businesses, our 11th 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.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Also subsequent to quarter end, Clairvest paid an annual ordinary dividend of $0.10 per share and a special dividend of $0.8660 per share, such that in aggregate, the dividends represent 1% of the March 31, 2026 book value.
