Deliberate Wealth
Deliberate Wealth is a multi-family office investing in private credit, real estate, infrastructure, and hedge funds for a select group of families.
Deliberate Wealth
Deliberate Wealth was established in the early 2000s by a group of wealth advisors who recognized that many successful entrepreneurs lacked the infrastructure to manage concentrated positions and alternative assets. The firm's founding principals maintained relationships with several families in the technology and professional services sectors, offering a centralized investment platform that smaller family offices rarely access independently. The firm invests across private credit, real estate, infrastructure, energy transition and renewables, and hedge funds. Deliberate Wealth typically commits capital to funds managed by external GPs, with an emphasis on co-investment rights and direct deal participation. Its known counterparties include large alternative asset managers such as Blackstone, Apollo Global Management, and Brookfield Asset Management (per public record, 2021–2024). Geographic exposure spans North America, with select allocations to Western Europe and Asia-Pacific. Deliberate Wealth manages assets for approximately 20 families, though the firm does not publicly disclose its aggregate AUM or number of professionals. It maintains an operating-company structure with dedicated professionals handling tax, estate planning, and philanthropic advisory alongside investment management. In 2024, the firm appointed a new head of private credit as part of a strategic push into direct lending (per industry sources, 2024). Deliberate Wealth operates with a governance model that distinguishes it from purely pooled vehicles: each family maintains separate accounts for certain assets while commingling capital for larger direct deals. This hybrid structure allows the firm to negotiate institutional terms while preserving individualized tax and liquidity planning for client families.
