ADB Capital Management

Founder Anthony Bontempo serves as Chief Investment Officer and makes all investment decisions. He built the firm in 2003 around his background in structured credit and distressed asset workouts. The firm operates with a small analytical team supporting Bontempo's centralized decision-making.

ADB sources opportunities through long-standing relationships with banks, special servicers, and restructuring advisors in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. The firm focuses on transactions where sellers are motivated by regulatory pressure or balance-sheet constraints, including non-performing loan portfolios and distressed real estate sales.

ADB is a traditional asset manager, not a family office. Anthony Bontempo founded the firm in 2003 as an independent investment manager. The firm raises outside capital on a deal-by-deal basis rather than managing a permanent blind-pool fund.

ADB focuses on direct transactions and does not operate as a fund-of-funds. The firm structures each investment as a discrete opportunity, allowing investors to evaluate and commit to individual deals rather than a pooled fund vehicle.

ADB generally avoids venture-stage technology and growth equity, concentrating instead on asset-heavy and cash-flow-oriented situations. The firm also tends to avoid non-US assets, focusing its sourcing and underwriting on North American transactions.

ADB's real estate practice concentrates on distressed and non-performing loan acquisitions in the Greater New York metro area and broader Northeast corridor. The firm sources assets from regional banks selling legacy portfolios, targeting properties where it can apply its restructuring and asset-management experience.

ADB typically acts as the lead investor or sole arranger on its transactions, structuring deals directly with borrowers, sellers, or intermediaries. The firm does not publicize a formal co-investment program alongside other general partners.
