ECKELBERG FINANCIAL, INC.

Investment decisions are made by the Eckelberg family members in consultation with a small team of non-family advisors and a formal investment committee. The firm does not publish the names of individual decision-makers outside the family, but it is structured as a multi-generational office with a governance framework that includes external professionals (per the firm's official communications).

It operates as a single-family office, solely managing the assets of the Eckelberg family. The firm was founded in 1980 to serve the family's wealth needs and has remained dedicated to that single-family mandate, not taking on outside capital or clients (per public record).

The office focuses on direct real estate investments (commercial and industrial), private credit (senior secured loans and mezzanine), and allocations to private equity funds and energy partnerships. It does not invest in public equities or engage in venture capital. The strategy emphasizes capital preservation and long-term holding periods (per the firm's known approach).

While the firm primarily focuses on U.S. investments, particularly in the Sun Belt region, it may consider select international opportunities in energy or real estate on a case-by-case basis. However, the vast majority of its portfolio is domestic (per public record).

The firm sources deals through its extensive network in Dallas-Fort Worth's energy and real estate sectors, built over 45 years. Relationships with family offices, local banks, and legal advisors provide access to off-market real estate and private credit opportunities. The firm prefers direct, negotiated deals over competitive auctions (per public record).
