Anagram wordmark

A private investment
firm built for individuals

A different approach

The best of institutional
investing, tailored to you

Dedicated investment teams

Our real estate and private equity investment teams have invested over $4.5B in debt and equity opportunities and have proven track records, deep expertise, and extensive relationships.

Financial alignment

Anagram’s partners are the company’s largest investors, meaning our success is personally aligned with yours.

Accessible minimums

Our minimum investment amount falls well below typical industry minimums and is designed for individual investors, not institutions.

Not just access

We source, underwrite,
and lead direct investments
on behalf of ourselves and our clients

Our Limited Partners plug into Anagram’s institutional investment infrastructure and take advantage of the partners’ multiple decades of experience investing across Real Estate and Private Equity.

Private Equity

We seek:

Cashflowing businesses with limited tech risk and a preference for simple & proven business models

Real Estate

We pursue:

Sector-agnostic strategies focused on the best risk/return profile without the burden of a narrow institutional mandate

Imagining an alternative

Founders, builders, and investors united by an uncommon vision

We built Anagram because we believed there was a better way for us to manage, invest, and preserve our personal capital.

Collectively we’ve spent decades building investment businesses that served institutions. However, when the time came to manage our own wealth, we were dissatisfied with the existing offerings.

There are few modern, forward-looking firms that deliver smart alpha through private investments, efficient beta through public markets, and services through a modern brand experience.

We’re changing that.

Our leadership

Building the firm we wanted for ourselves

We've invested over $4.5B on behalf of institutions. Now we're working for people just like us.
