Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at COI Partners?

Is COI Partners a single-family office or an asset manager?

COI designs fund products alongside its direct investments (per firm website). It offers both direct participation in platform companies and commitment vehicles, allowing investors to choose between fund-level exposure and co-investment lines.
