Exited 2018 Through IPO

Beltone Financial Holding
Exited 2015

During the course of Compass’s investment, Beltone reversed net losses, turning to profitability in just eight months following the acquisition. It fulfilled its strategy to divest in non-core assets, streamline costs, and focus on new products and asset within each respective division. A full exit was completed in November 2015, with Beltone’s market capitalization grew by 3.75X over the three and a half-year investment period.
