## Questions

### Who runs investment decisions at Gadsden?

James Tisch, CEO of Loews Corporation and son of co-founder Laurence Tisch, leads investment decisions at Gadsden. He is supported by a lean internal team that evaluates opportunities across real estate, private credit, growth equity, and renewables. The office does not publish biographies of other investment professionals.

### Does Gadsden take outside capital from LPs?

No. Gadsden does not accept outside limited partners and does not market or raise external funds. All deployment comes from Tisch family capital, which gives the office permanent-capital flexibility to hold positions indefinitely and structure bespoke deals.

### What investment stages and structures does Gadsden use?

Gadsden is mandate-agnostic in structure, using direct equity, credit facilities, and structured capital commitments depending on the opportunity. In growth equity, it has participated in minority rounds alongside institutional co-investors like General Atlantic. In renewables, it has used project-level structured capital. The office does not limit itself to a specific stage.

### Does Gadsden invest in venture capital or fund commitments?

Gadsden primarily makes direct investments and co-investments rather than blind-pool fund commitments. Known positions include direct growth-stage rounds such as Florence Healthcare alongside General Atlantic. The office has not publicly disclosed a portfolio of LP fund stakes.

### Where is Gadsden active geographically?

The primary geographic focus is North America. In November 2023, Gadsden made its first publicized European standalone direct deal — a commitment to an Irish renewable energy platform alongside the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund (per The Irish Times, November 2023). The office has also explored opportunities in Israel alongside trusted co-investors.
