We are a single family office with a company history dating back to the late 1800s.We have a large and longstanding portfolio of alternative investments, including many of the best private equity and hedge fund names in the business.We target long term relationships with our investment partners and have been invested with our core names for 10-15 years or more.We maintain a healthy appetite for risk, preferring equity over debt, concentration over diversification, innovation and growth over "value" plays, and long exposure over volatility management.We invest in great companies both through great GPs and directly. We have a significant co-investment program, investing in as many as 18 assets per year.We manage a combination of taxable and non-taxable (foundation) assets; both pools are significant in size. We actively consider investments across a broad array of sectors, globally. We are disproportionately focused on North America and US$-denominated assets, though we do have meaningful portfolios in select foreign markets such as China and India.You can read more about our group at http://hillmancompany.com/

Institutional asset manager with over $10 billion of fund-of-funds and advisory accounts under management (as of departure date) offering attractive access to alternative investments for smaller or resource-limited organizations. Our team provided strategic asset allocation, hedge fund and private equity manger selection, and targeted direct investment exposure for institutional investors, family offices, and wealthy individuals.I worked on the Private Investments team. My role involved evaluating new investment opportunities, monitoring relationship performance for several in-house funds and client portfolios, addressing bespoke analytical requests for key clients, maintaining liquidity and commitment budget projections for several accounts, and thematic research. Our portfolio included buyouts, growth and venture capital, real estate and energy, and credit. We invested in a mix of fund and direct opportunities, with a significant emphasis on emerging markets opportunities such as in China and India. Our team collaborated weekly with hedge fund and Asia-focused teams. Our diaspora now includes CIOs of large family offices and endowments, managing partners of hedge funds, placement agents, investment bankers, and founders of fund-of-funds and other businesses serving the alternative investments industry.

Origination and execution of leveraged loans, high yield bonds, and other debt products for healthcare, gaming, technology, and consumer/retail companies. I joined a growing leveraged finance team that was working its way up the league tables with about 150 people at its peak, pre-Lehman bankruptcy. It was an interesting couple of years to be underwriting the debt behind a lot of LBOs and CLOs.
