Frequently asked questions
What is the source of Five Lakes Advisory's capital?
The capital derives from the Stinn family's sale of Stinn Trucking, a waste-hauling and logistics business based in Akron, Ohio, to Waste Management. Kevin Stinn, a former principal of the operating company, established Five Lakes Advisory to manage the family's liquidity post-acquisition.
Does Five Lakes Advisory invest in venture capital or technology startups?
No. The firm specifically targets asset-heavy, cash-flowing businesses and real estate. Its focus remains on industrial services, specialty manufacturing, and value-add logistics real estate, avoiding speculative venture capital and pure-technology plays.
Does the firm manage capital for outside investors?
No. Five Lakes Advisory operates as a dedicated single-family office for the Stinn family. It does not solicit or accept third-party capital, which allows it to hold investments indefinitely without the pressure of standard fund lifecycles.
In which geographies does Five Lakes Advisory concentrate its real estate investments?
The office concentrates its real estate acquisitions in the Midwest and Southeast United States, reflecting its operational roots in Ohio and a preference for regions with strong industrial and logistics demand drivers.
What is the governance or succession plan for the family office?
There is no publicly disclosed succession plan. The firm's investment activities are closely tied to Kevin Stinn's personal oversight, leaving the long-term perpetuity of the office dependent on future generational or governance decisions that have not been publicized.
