Faircourt Partners

Overview

Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Chicago, Faircourt Partners operates as a registered investment advisor with a multi-client mandate. The firm serves individuals, high-net-worth families, and institutional clients including investment companies and foundations. Rather than concentrating a single family's capital, Faircourt aggregates advisory relationships across multiple client types, which shapes its product mix and investment committee governance. The firm constructs portfolios emphasizing alternative asset classes. Confirmed allocations include private credit strategies, real estate exposure, and hedge fund commitments — an alternatives-heavy mix typical of wealth management practices targeting clients dissatisfied with traditional 60/40 public-market portfolios. Faircourt manages these exposures through fund selection rather than direct operating-company investments, consistent with its registered investment advisor structure. The geographic focus centers on US-based managers and assets, reflecting both its Chicago base and the domestic tilt of the alternatives managers accessible to mid-market RIAs. Team size and total assets under management remain undisclosed as of mid-2026. Altss estimates the practice manages under $500 million based on its founding vintage, Chicago mid-market RIA benchmarks, and absence of public institutional mandate announcements. The firm's regulatory filings confirm it advises both individual and institutional accounts, a dual focus that typically limits concentration risk but also caps per-account sophistication relative to dedicated family offices. Faircourt's structural differentiator is its hybrid client base — blending individual wealth management with institutional advisory — which creates a sourcing model distinct from either pure family offices or institutional consultants. This permits the firm to place fund managers in front of both retail-qualified and institutional check-writers, though it also subjects Faircourt to the compliance and suitability frameworks of the Investment Advisers Act rather than the lighter-touch reporting of single-family offices.
