Howland Advisory Corporation

Howland Advisory Corporation

Howland Advisory Corporation serves as the private investment and wealth-management vehicle for the Tisch family, whose wealth originates from Loews Corporation, the publicly traded holding company assembled by Laurence and Preston Tisch starting in the 1940s. Daniel Tisch, grandson of Loews co-founder Laurence Tisch, leads the office from New York, overseeing the family's capital outside the public corporate structure. The Tisch family has maintained a multi-generational presence in American business, philanthropy, and professional sports — the family held a 50% stake in the New York Giants until a 2024 sale process that reduced their ownership — and Howland Advisory is the central entity for preserving and deploying that wealth. The office's investment strategy spans private equity, real estate, public equities, and credit. Family capital is deployed through a mix of fund commitments, direct co-investments, and direct operating-company stakes. The Tisch family has historically maintained significant exposure to the insurance sector through Loews subsidiary CNA Financial, and energy through Diamond Offshore Drilling, both of which generate dividend streams that flow into Howland for reinvestment. On the direct-investment side, the family has participated in real estate ventures in New York and Miami, and has been an active limited partner in middle-market and growth-equity funds. The office does not market itself as a capital source, relying instead on long-standing banking and private-equity relationships cultivated over decades of Loews board-level activity. Beyond the investment portfolio, the Tisch family's wealth structure includes significant philanthropic vehicles. The Tisch family has been among New York's most prominent donors to education, medicine, and the arts, including the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai. Daniel Tisch has continued this tradition, serving on the board of NYU Langone Health. The office operates with a lean internal team, drawing on the family's deep ties to Wall Street — Preston Tisch served as Postmaster General and Laurence Tisch ran CBS — and a network that includes the principals of other New York industrial-family offices. In 2024, the family began exploring a partial sale of their New York Giants stake, a transaction that would generate substantial liquidity for reinvestment through Howland. What distinguishes Howland Advisory from other New York single-family offices is its hybrid construction: a private investment office sitting alongside a family-controlled public company whose dividends and strategic liquidity events feed the private allocation engine. This structure gives the office permanent capital characteristics without requiring the full privatization of the Loews vehicle — the family can sell down public-stake positions and redeploy capital into private markets at their discretion, a flexibility most family-held conglomerates do not preserve.
