Old City Investment Partners
Founded in 2006, Old City Investment Partners built its reputation on identifying alternative investment sponsors with a sustainable edge in specialized, less efficient markets. The firm serves a growing base of families, foundations, endowments, and private institutions, channeling over $20 billion in capital to its manager clients since inception. Old City functions primarily as a placement agent and broker-dealer platform, not a direct investor. Its broker-dealer arm, Old City Securities, provides boutique advisors and placement groups access to institutional-quality alternative deal flow. In 2024, the firm launched Alts Select, a curated online alternatives platform for RIAs and family offices developed with Conway Investment Solutions. The platform offers low-cost access to vetted funds, including capacity-constrained managers Millennium, D.E. Shaw, and AQR. Old City also hosts Alpha on the Delta, an invitation-only conference in New Orleans coinciding with Jazz Fest, connecting institutional investors with a curated group of differentiated alternative managers. The firm's global reach extends across North America, Europe, and select Asian markets, reflected in Pitchbook's 2025 league tables ranking Old City third in the United States and fifth globally among placement agents. Principals George Sirignano and Trevor Barnett lead the firm's engagement with both manager and investor constituencies — Sirignano speaking on credibility-building and authentic connections, Barnett on panel discussions around global distribution and allocator trends. Audrey Weitz focuses on private fund and investor matchmaking. The firm maintains a selective, relationship-driven model: it does not market broadly or publish a roster of portfolio companies, but rather curates a limited set of manager relationships and places capacity with a vetted investor base. March 2025: Old City announced the manager lineup for its fourth Alpha on the Delta conference, scheduled April 29–May 1, 2025 (per the firm, March 2025). Old City operates a hybrid structure: a placement and advisory firm wrapped around a broker-dealer platform that generates deal flow for its capital-raising business. The Alts Select platform extends that model into liquid alternatives, offering feeder-like access to multi-manager funds that are typically closed to new capital. The Alpha on the Delta conference acts as both a sourcing event and an anchoring annual touchpoint for the firm's network — a structural differentiator in an industry where most placement agents operate without a proprietary convening function.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs client relationships and deal sourcing at Old City Investment Partners?
Principals George Sirignano and Trevor Barnett lead investor and manager relationships. Sirignano focuses on authenticity in capital raising and connections, while Barnett speaks publicly on global distribution and allocator trends. Audrey Weitz specializes in matching private fund managers with investors.
Is Old City a fund manager, a placement agent, or something else?
Old City is primarily a placement agent and broker-dealer platform. It does not manage direct investment funds. Instead, it identifies high-quality alternative investment sponsors and connects them with family offices, foundations, endowments, and institutions. Its broker-dealer arm, Old City Securities, provides deal-flow access to boutique advisors and placement groups.
What is the Alts Select platform and who can access it?
Alts Select is a curated online alternatives platform launched in partnership with Conway Investment Solutions. It offers RIAs and family offices low-cost access to institutionally vetted alternative investment funds, including capacity-constrained managers such as Millennium, D.E. Shaw, and AQR (per the firm, 2024).
What is Alpha on the Delta?
Alpha on the Delta is an invitation-only conference hosted by Old City during the New Orleans Jazz Fest. It convenes institutional investors with a curated group of differentiated alternative investment managers. The 4th annual event took place April 29–May 1, 2025.
What types of alternative investments does Old City represent?
Old City represents alternative managers across hedge funds, private credit, private equity, real estate, and venture capital. The firm looks for managers operating in less efficient markets with a sustainable edge — often niche strategies where value is not well understood by generalist allocators.
Does Old City disclose its assets under management?
Old City does not publish an AUM figure. As a placement agent, the more relevant metric is capital raised or placed: the firm states it has placed over $20 billion with its clients since inception. The distinction matters — Old City does not manage those assets.
How does Old City source the managers it represents?
Sourcing is relationship-driven rather than systematic. The firm describes its approach as 'exceedingly selective,' focusing on sponsors who have a sustainable edge in specialized areas. The Alpha on the Delta conference functions as both a vetting and sourcing mechanism, bringing managers into a curated, invitation-only environment with institutional investors.
