We have prepared this Privacy Policy and User Agreement (Agreement) to disclose and describe our practices for this website and through other means of interacting with us. Water Street may change this Privacy Policy and Agreement from time to time, based upon any changes to our website and our users’ experience on it. If we make any substantial changes in this Agreement, we will revise this policy accordingly.

Terms of Use

Water Street is an investment adviser registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

This website is intended to provide information regarding Water Street, our investment approach, our team, and our group of healthcare companies. The information provided herein, including any information regarding Water Street’s current and historical portfolio investments, is not intended to recommend any investment described herein and is not an offer or sale of any security or investment product or investment advice. All information contained on this website, including any transaction described therein, is for informational and/or illustrative purposes only. Statements contained on this website that are not historical facts are based on current views, forward-looking expectations, estimates, projections, opinions and/or beliefs of the Water Street team. Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors. You should not rely on these statements as if they were facts.

The investments and strategies discussed throughout the website may not be suitable for all investors and are not obligations of or guaranteed by Water Street or any of its affiliates. Water Street does not solicit or make its services available to the public. Information about investing in Water Street funds is only available in the form of private placement memoranda, subscription agreement and other offering documents approved by Water Street. These documents contain information to help investors evaluate Water Street funds’ investment objectives, risks, fees and expenses, among other factors, before considering an investment. Further information about Water Street is also available in Form ADV Part 2, filed with the SEC, available at www.adviserinfo.sec.gov.

Past results are not necessarily indicative nor a guarantee of future results and no representation is made that any fund will or is likely to achieve results that are similar to those of Water Street’s current or previous funds. Prior investments may have been made under different market, economic or other conditions than those in which future investments and/or strategies will be pursued, and as a result may not be replicated. Investors may lose part or all of their investment capital or face various other risks as described in the applicable offering documents.

Aggregate Earnings represents pro-forma EBITDA that has generally been normalized for items considered one-time or non-recurring in nature. The calendar year comparisons versus 2022 includes all active companies, except Long Grove and Lakeview, which are development companies with no earnings or revenue.

Certain links, including links to portfolio company websites, are provided on this website. These links are provided as a convenience and do not imply Water Street’s sponsorship or approval of any of these websites or their content. Water Street has no control over or responsibility for other websites that may be accessible from this website, the contents thereof, their security or privacy policies, or any products/services that may be offered by them. If you access any third-party website through this website or because it is referred to in this website, you do so at your own risk. Links to or from this website do not constitute an endorsement by Water Street of the parties or businesses which are so linked. Water Street encourages you to review the privacy policies and user agreements of all other websites that you visit as such policies and agreements will govern your use of those websites.

Throughout this website, references to “our track record" refer solely to the past performance of portfolio companies owned by Water Street’s funds. For qualified investors, and solely in association with an offering in compliance with federal securities laws, a full track record of Water Street’s past investments, as well as fund-level performance will be made available. In addition, references on our website to “our companies” and “our family of companies” or words of similar import refer to portfolio companies owned by the Water Street’s funds.

The case studies described on this website are for illustrative purposes only and have been selected to provide, among other things, examples of representative strategic partnerships. A full list of investments is available from Water Street.

Certain statements made in the embedded videos reflect Water Street's and portfolio company management's opinions and beliefs regarding the company and the investment. Such opinions and beliefs are subjective, do not represent a complete assessment of the company, the market or Water Street's overall investment performance and cannot be independently verified. Such statements are being offered as references for purposes of demonstrating the benefits of working with the Water Street team and not on the basis of being an investor in a portfolio company or, if applicable, a Water Street fund. Portfolio company executives receive/received a salary and economics from the portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all speakers stand to benefit from Water Street’s success and for the portfolio company executives specially, their company is owned or partially owned by a Water Street fund.

The titles “Operating Partner,” "Executive Advisor," and "Managing Director" are not intended to indicate that a team member with one of these titles is a partner, principal or employee of Water Street or any Water Street fund or other affiliate. Operating Partners, Executive Advisors, and Managing Directors provide expertise to Water Street and its portfolio companies and are typically compensated by such portfolio companies. They may be independent contractors or employees of current or former portfolio companies and may have business or investment activities unrelated to Water Street.

Corporate Resource Group members are employees of Water Street who provide services to a Water Street fund or a portfolio company and are compensated by such fund or portfolio company.

Testimonials and endorsements and statements made in embedded videos reflect Water Street's and portfolio company management's opinions and beliefs regarding the company and the investment. Such opinions and beliefs are subjective, do not represent a complete assessment of the company, the market or Water Street's overall investment performance and cannot be independently verified. Such statements are being offered as references for purposes of demonstrating the benefits of working with the Water Street team and not for the purpose of soliciting investors. Portfolio company executives receive/received a salary and economics from the portfolio company. No executives were paid for their testimonial or endorsement. There is a conflict of interest in these unpaid testimonials and endorsements in that all speakers stand to benefit from Water Street’s success and they work/worked for a Water Street portfolio company.

Portfolio companies described in this website and testimonial/endorsement videos do not purport to represent all portfolio company investments made by Water Street. Not all of our portfolio investments had the characteristics, prospects, or projected successes highlighted. Past results are not indicative, nor a guarantee, of future results, which may vary.
