4612 Group

4612 Group

4612 Group was formed in 2016 inside the family office of Tom Cousins. J.T. King led that office’s investment activities from 2010 to 2020 before spinning the platform into an independent SEC-registered adviser. The founding team brought two decades of joint experience across credit, private equity, and operating roles. The firm deploys capital through direct equity, growth investments, recapitalizations, and private credit. Transaction sizes range from $20 million to $150 million. It targets buyouts and growth equity in North America and has completed investments in compressed-air equipment, rural broadband, live-event production, specialty lending, commercial laundry distribution, and residential roofing. The approach favors flexible structures and long holding periods over fund cycles. The team numbers fewer than twenty professionals and operates from a single Atlanta office. All investment professionals commit personal capital alongside outside investors. No additional offices or adjacent philanthropic vehicles are disclosed. The firm’s structure originated as the investment arm of one family office and retains a direct-ownership model that bypasses traditional fund vehicles for most positions.
