Joseph McCarthy leads the firm as founder and chief investment officer alongside a small team of directors and portfolio managers. The firm allocates across private equity, private real estate and liquid markets. It executes buyouts and holds residential and mixed-use assets in the United Kingdom. Confirmed positions include Salt Meadows, Newgate Street Village and Halstead. Deployment occurs mainly in Europe with additional exposure through direct opportunities worldwide.

The firm operates as a multi-family office that combines advisory services with aligned co-investments rather than managing external fund vehicles.
