My focus is two-fold; Building custom Venture portfolios and Direct investments that produce outsized returns on behalf of Family Offices, Sovereign Wealth Funds, Pension funds, Institutional Banks, Wealth Managers, and Corporate Venture Partnerships.

With 23 yrs of Portfolio management experience, I get paid by smart money to be first into the best deals and to be first, you have to have great relationships, and you can’t wait for consensus. I can significantly reduce fee’s, mitigate risk, and reduce the overall cost of entering the Venture- Web3 markets... My contact is below. When it comes to direct investments, why only choose a handful of funds to invest in when you can handpick the best companies inside every fund and custom create your own venture portfolio and hold all the assets in-house yourself that matches your Family Office risk profile.

I have worked for several Family Offices over 20+ yrs and can dramatically improve investment allocation, venture exposure, alternative investments & performance while cutting fat fees. I believe that DPI is critical when measuring fund returns because it measures how much capital has been returned back to investors. While IRR- or TVPI represents the multiple of capital that could be realized, DPI actually states the capital realized and distributed back to LP's. ( Could be realized- doesn't pay the bills) I lean towards an asset allocation portfolio in line with Yale/endowment model, which produces most of its alpha through private venture investments -MPT guidelines.

Evaluate performance of existing investments including underperformers that may be sold into strength and redeemed or liquidated, while consistently building dry powder on the sidelines—exit investments failing performance, risk, or those that have excessive fees attached. ( I believe fortunes are built and made in down markets and then collected in the up markets! ) Connecting Family Offices to my private syndicate of investment opportunities from other Family Offices and Teir#1 VC's and across all relevant asset classes. Propose investments in niche offerings with exceptionally compelling risk/reward profiles to which a family is under-allocated. Educate the 2nd generation on what they own & inheriting and how not to get ripped off. Prep the handover to your kids, including intro’s to other families, enrolling in the top Ivy league MBA - finance and venture programs, and mentoring along the way until they graduate and you are ready to hand over the torch.
