KLAR's investment strategy
We are a sector-focused firm covering field services, professional services, and industrial technology. Many of the companies in which we invest offer mission-critical products and services to their clients. While you may not notice the impact of these products or services, they are critical for the smooth functioning of our everyday lives
Everybody expects their sewage to flow, their heating to work and their electrical appliances to operate safely, but if this doesn’t happen, the impact is immediate. The critical nature of the products and services our companies provide means they are well-insulated from market downturns, enabling them to focus on growth and expansion.
