Crossroads Hotel, Kansas City

We are intently focused on the long-term and seek highly asymmetric reward from under appreciated opportunities.

Private Capital

Invest at any stage, in partnership with exceptional management teams to create businesses with enduring value. The ideal opportunity addresses a compelling market but undeveloped potential due to lack of growth capital or operational challenges. We have been the first or only investor in numerous companies and strategically partner with venture capital and private equity firms.

Public Markets

High-conviction positions in public securities based upon our own in-depth analysis. While particularly focused on long-term value and growth investments, we maintain flexibility to opportunistically respond to special situations and identified market inefficiencies. We also will strategically partner with relevant hedge funds.

Real Estate

We seek to generate strong risk adjusted rates of return over long duration holding periods, through timely acquisitions, development and re-development, value-add strategies and disciplined management. Investments in real estate assets (including residential, hotel, office, retail, mixed-use, land and industrial properties) throughout the United States, with a concentration in secondary markets.
