Hinkle Holding Company

Mary Grace Hinkle, a third-generation family member and director of the holding company, manages the private equity and real estate investment portfolio. Henry L. Hinkle, Sr. serves as CEO and treasurer, while Buckner Hinkle, Jr. provides legal oversight as general counsel. Investment decisions are made within this family governance structure without external investment committee members.

The family's wealth originated from Hinkle Contracting Corporation, a Kentucky-based aggregates, asphalt, and construction materials business. The company was sold to Summit Materials in 2010, converting the family's operating business into liquid capital that became the foundation for Hinkle Holding Company's diversified investment portfolio.

The office maintains three primary investment sleeves: income-producing commercial real estate concentrated in Kentucky and nearby states, legacy farmland holdings in Bourbon County including the Hinkle Family Farm, and a private equity fund vehicle that pursues direct investments in operating companies. The allocation reflects a construction-family orientation toward tangible assets combined with direct private company exposure.

Hinkle Holding Company operates as a single family office serving the Hinkle family exclusively. The office has not opened its investment vehicles to outside capital and does not manage assets for other families. Its governance is entirely internal, with Henry L. Hinkle, Sr., Buckner Hinkle, Jr., Mary Grace Hinkle, and Tom Hinkle comprising the named leadership.

No operational connection remains. Hinkle Contracting Corporation was fully acquired by Summit Materials in 2010. The family's continued presence in Kentucky's construction community is reflected in Henry Hinkle's life membership in the Kentucky Crushed Stone Association, but the holding company is a pure investment office with no ongoing construction operations.

Three generations participate in governance. Henry L. Hinkle, Sr. holds the CEO and treasurer roles from the founding generation. Buckner Hinkle, Jr. and Tom Hinkle represent the second generation as general counsel and executive vice president respectively. Mary Grace Hinkle, the third generation, serves as a director with direct portfolio management responsibility for private equity and real estate investments.

Yes, the Hinkle Holding Company Scholarship Fund operates alongside the investment activities of the family office. The fund represents the family's philanthropic presence. Details on the scholarship's beneficiaries and annual grantmaking volume are not publicly disclosed.
