Investment Strategy

Clearbrook aims to realise significant capital gains by identifying and backing market leading management teams in sectors in which it either has specialist knowledge or has developed a proprietary investment thesis to take advantage of current and future market opportunities.

Clearbrook targets companies and industries that are capable of generating superior growth and future strong cash flows.

The firm retains a flexible and proactive approach to making opportune investments, with a focus on acquiring businesses from motivated sellers or 'out of favour' sectors with a balanced appraoch to leverage. This approach has, in the past, produced the most favourable pricing and sustainable capital structure for investments. 

Clearbrook investment focus includes:

• Financial services platforms
• Asset backed platforms - property
• Sector consolidation plays

In each case, the investment must be able to demonstrate:

• A leading and entrepreneurial management team
• High potential for revenue and earnings growth
• Strong and stable cash flow potential
• A number of credible exit alternatives

Overall, Clearbrook's strategy is to invest in companies which have the potential to generate superior returns in sectors where its in-house expertise can immediately be put to work and where previous success has been achieved in applying an investment strategy.
