Clearlake

Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. is a private alternative asset manager focused on private equity and credit. The firm raises capital from institutional limited partners and deploys that capital through sector-focused investment platforms, with a stated emphasis on operational improvement and value creation across portfolio companies. Its public materials show substantial scale, including more than $185 billion in assets under management and multiple large flagship fund closes through June 2026. Clearlake generates revenue primarily from recurring management fees on committed or managed capital and from carried interest tied to realised investment performance. Its customers are institutional investors such as pension funds, endowments, sovereign entities, family offices, and other professional allocators seeking exposure to private market strategies. The firm creates value by sourcing acquisitions, improving portfolio company performance, supporting growth and consolidation, and exiting investments through sales, recapitalisations, or public listings.
