Knollwood Investment Advisory
Knollwood Investment Advisory was formed to steward the proceeds from the Bunting family's 1989 exit of Noxell Corporation. George L. Bunting Jr. serves as chairman and chief executive while Kevin Irwin acts as chief executive and chief investment officer. The office maintains a multi-generational mandate that includes both investment management and family administrative services. The strategy mixes early-stage venture, growth equity, private credit, real estate and secondaries. Capital is deployed through direct co-investments, SPVs and fund commitments. Confirmed holdings include Amberdata, Blue and Uranium Digital. The geographic reach covers North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Stage focus runs from early through late and pre-IPO. The team comprises eight named principals and partners. Additional vehicles include the Bunting Family Foundation and real-asset holdings such as The Angler, Belmont Towers and Bunting's Field in Maryland. No operational events from the last twenty-four months appear in the record. Knollwood maintains a hybrid structure that combines single-family capital with selective multi-family administration services. This architecture allows the office to retain full control over investment decisions while generating operating leverage through third-party mandates.
