Nassau Alternative Investments

Nassau Alternative Investments

The Phoenix Companies, Inc. Employee Pension Plan was established in 1911 to provide retirement benefits for company employees. Nassau Alternative Investments functions as the dedicated vehicle that deploys a portion of those assets into private markets. The strategy centers on private equity, secondaries, and co-investments alongside select venture and mezzanine exposure. Confirmed holdings include Quorus Inc. and Kadance, Inc. through the Nassau Reimagine incubator, plus the Nassau 2019 CFO LLC backed by over 100 underlying private equity and debt funds. Geographic reach spans the United States with additional activity in Europe through holdings such as Luminant Analytics. The platform reports 453 million dollars in assets. It maintains a headquarters at One American Row in Hartford and holds real-estate assets including the Elizabethtown Warehouse and Connection Park Logistics Center via NCA Realty Partners. In June 2024 the firm spoke at Insurtech Insights USA on insurance and retirement technology. Adjacent vehicles include the Nassau Reimagine incubator launched in 2019 and the Diana Piquette Memorial Scholarship established in 2022. Nassau Alternative Investments sits inside a larger insurance group whose equity is held by Golden Gate Capital as majority owner, Golub Capital as largest minority holder, and Fortress Investment Group as additional minority holder. This ownership structure supplies both capital and co-investment access that a standalone pension plan would lack.
