The thesis

The ten-to-fifty gap.

Between ten and fifty million dollars sits a bracket the market has quietly abandoned: owner-led companies on their way to institutional scale, and the family offices and private investors who back them.

Too large for a broker. Too small for a bank.

G&P exists for precisely this bracket: the examination an investment committee would apply, carried out by people who sit on your side of the table.

The approach

Two mandates. One discipline.

Capital & Investment Advisory

Your investment committee: opportunities sourced, examined, valued and negotiated, delivered decision-ready.
