Fourshore Partners

Pedro Freyre, Partner, leads the private equity arm and is responsible for sourcing, evaluating, and executing investments. He works alongside Vice President Milos Milosevic, who manages deal execution and post-close portfolio support. Jose Costa, the principal who formed Fourshore Capital, is the capital source but the firm identifies Freyre as the operational investment lead.

It operates as a hybrid. Fourshore Capital houses Jose Costa's personal capital without outside LP funds, making it structurally a single-family office. However, the private equity team uses a buyout-fund process — sourcing, structuring, and managing control investments in operating companies — with career private-equity professionals rather than family members running the deals.

Fourshore Partners targets control investments in established businesses with $2–15 million in EBITDA. The firm looks for cash-flowing operations as well as distressed and special-situation opportunities across agribusiness, logistics, business services, niche manufacturing, distribution, consumer, and financial services. Its geographic focus is North America, with a stated preference for Florida and Caribbean-based companies.

Yes, but through a separate arm. Fourshore Capital originates and manages a hard-equity lending book focused primarily on land-development financing. The firm applies a strict loan-to-value discipline of roughly 50% LTV and also lends against other asset types when the credit criteria are met. This lending activity is run separately from the private equity buyout strategy.

The firm does not publicly disclose a deal-sourcing playbook, but its leadership's deep operating background in agribusiness — Jose Costa and Pedro Freyre both senior leaders at Costa Farms — and Freyre's Bain & Co. network likely give the firm proprietary access to founder-owned and family-run businesses in Florida, the Caribbean, and adjacent sectors. Milos Milosevic's investment-banking background in REIT capital raises adds a financial-sponsor channel.

The capital comes from Jose Costa, who built Costa Farms into the world's largest ornamental plant supplier and sold it to Markel Corporation. Fourshore does not solicit or manage third-party LP commitments. The firm functions as the investment platform for Costa's personal balance sheet, giving it a permanent-capital structure without fundraising cycles or a mandated return horizon.

The firm's stated strategy is control investments in operating companies. Its website language specifies 'control investments' for businesses with $2-15M in EBITDA. Fourshore does not advertise a minority-stake or growth-equity program, positioning itself as a buyout operator rather than a passive capital provider.
