Calvert Street Capital Partners, Inc. (“CSCP”), a Maryland corporation, is an adviser to private
funds and was organized on May 10, 1995. Joshua Hall and Brian Mahoney founded CSCP
originally as Legg Mason Merchant Banking, Inc., an affiliate of Legg Mason, Inc., and purchased
the business from Legg Mason, Inc. on December 31, 2003. In June 2014, Mr. Mahoney withdrew
from an active role at CSCP and ceased participating in fundraising and investment activity, and
Mr. Hall became the sole owner of CSCP. In August 2015, Mr. Hall transferred a portion of his
ownership interest in CSCP to each of Brian Guerin, Michael Booth and Andrew John.
In March 2024, CSCP announced it would operate under the new name of Calvert Street
Investment Partners. The new “dba” name marks CSCP’s transition to a multi-strategy investment
platform. As part of the rebranding, the firm’s equity buyout business was renamed Crescentia
Capital.
PCI Capital Management, LLC (“PCI”), a Delaware limited liability company that was organized
on August 7, 2014, is a relying adviser under CSCP’s SEC registration and an investment adviser
to a private fund. References hereinafter to CSCP are meant to include PCI.
CSCP’s clients are private funds, as well as certain subsidiaries established by the funds to pursue
the strategies described herein. Affiliates of CSCP serve as the general partners or managing
members of each fund advised by CSCP.
CSCP’s advisory services generally focus on lower middle market companies in North America.
CSCP advises funds with respect to the acquisition, management and disposition of investments.
The services that CSCP provides to funds are based on and tailored to each fund’s specific
investment needs and goals. Each fund’s partnership or limited liability company agreement sets
forth certain investment limitations, including restrictions on investing in certain securities or types
of securities. CSCP looks for investments that meet the stated objectives, strategy and investment
guidelines of each fund. CSCP supervises the entire investment process and monitors the
performance of each investment held by its fund clients. All investment decisions on behalf of the
funds advised by CSCP are made by the applicable general partner or managing member of each
fund and, if applicable, a dedicated investment committee established for each fund.
Currently, CSCP advises the following private funds: (i) ACUS InvestCo, LLC (“ACUS”), (ii) TS
InvestCo, LLC (“TS”), (iii) Abrasive-Form Partners, L.P. (“AFP”), (iv) HT InvestCo, LLC and
HT
InvestCo (Parallel), LLC (collectively, “HTI”), (v) TDS InvestCo, LLC (“TDS”), (vi) HILP-
L InvestCo, LLC, HILP-C InvestCo, LLC, and HILP Blocker, LLC (collectively, “HILP”), (vii)
TNS InvestCo, LLC and TNS Splitter, LLC (collectively, “TNS”), (viii) MSI InvestCo, LLC
(“MSI”), (ix) TNS Splitter II, LLC (“Splitter II”), (x) UTD InvestCo, LLC and UTD OZ
InvestCo, LLC (collectively, “UTD,” and together with TNS, HILP, TDS, HTI, AFP, ACUS, TS,
MSI and Splitter II the “Equity Funds”), and (xi) PCI II, LP (the “Mezzanine Fund”). The
Mezzanine Fund and the Equity Funds are together referred to hereinafter as the “Funds.” The
investment periods of AFP, HTI, TDS, HILP and TNS have expired and these funds are in the
process of liquidating their investments.
The investment objective of the Equity Funds is to provide investors with the opportunity to realize
substantial appreciation in the form of long-term capital gains and, in certain instances, current
income (dividends and/or interest), by making control or significant minority equity investments
in lower middle market companies that offer significant growth potential. In advising the Equity
Funds, CSCP consistently employs a structured investment process, through which CSCP: (i)
identifies profitable, often undermanaged companies, (ii) conducts rigorous due diligence, (iii)
builds the infrastructure of the company through improvements to the management team and
information systems, (iv) undertakes aggressive growth initiatives both organically and through
complementary acquisitions and (v) generally exits investments in a negotiated sale transaction.
The investment objective of the Mezzanine Fund is to provide investors with current income plus
capital appreciation through investing in a portfolio of mezzanine securities (typically
subordinated debt and equity interests) of established, profitable, small to mid-sized manufacturing
and service companies in the United States. In advising the Mezzanine Fund, CSCP utilizes a
collaborative approach to investing, focusing on fundamental credit analysis and rigorous due
diligence. The Mezzanine Fund uses leverage provided by the SBA (typically equal to up to two
times the amount of committed capital).
CSCP currently does not provide investment advisory services to clients apart from the Funds and
their affiliated entities, although it and/or one or more affiliates may do so in the future.
As of December 31, 2023, CSCP had approximately $389.2 million in assets under management,
all managed on a discretionary basis.
