Their investment strategies include growth equity investments, leveraged buyouts, recapitalizations, and divisional divestitures. A substantial portion of their historic investments are in southern California-based companies.

Additionally, the firm manages a related fund, Clarity China Partners, which focuses on investments in the greater China region. With equity expertise and assets under management of over 1 billion US dollars, Clarity Partners invests a minimum of $10 million and can invest up to $25 million in a single portfolio company.
