Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at FAI Advisors?
John P. H. Courtney serves as President & CEO and is the named investment lead. Managing Director James L. A. McDonald is also publicly identified. It is unclear whether an internal investment committee formalizes decisions — the firm does not disclose its governance structure beyond those two named principals (public record).
How does FAI Advisors source proprietary deal flow?
FAI originates deals through a network of co-investment relationships with other family offices and select institutional partners, including pension funds and endowments. The firm does not rely on a formal sourcing team; its pipeline is relationship-driven and focused on off-market opportunities in real assets and credit (per the firm's historical communications).
Does FAI Advisors participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
FAI does not commit to third-party commingled funds; it invests exclusively through direct and co-investment structures — separate accounts, SPVs, and club deals. This posture aligns with its stated model of institutional direct investing without fund-of-funds exposure (public record).
What investment stages does FAI typically target?
FAI focuses on later-stage and operating-asset investments — income-producing real estate, yield-oriented infrastructure, and senior or mezzanine private credit. It does not target venture-stage or growth-equity deals; its emphasis is on current yield and total return from direct ownership of hard assets (public record).
