Frequently asked questions
Who controls investment decisions at Point West?
Michael J. Sacks, the firm's founder, serves as Chief Investment Officer and exercises authority over all major allocation and underwriting decisions. Point West does not list any other named portfolio managers or investment committee members in public filings or on its website.
What asset classes does Point West invest in?
Point West runs a multi-strategy portfolio spanning three primary buckets: liquid equity strategies focused on special situations and event-driven opportunities, private credit origination to middle-market companies, and direct commercial and residential real estate. The real estate portfolio concentrates on supply-constrained coastal markets, particularly in California.
How does Point West source its credit deals?
The firm originates private loans directly, targeting middle-market borrowers in industries undergoing restructuring, regulatory change, or capital-structure dislocation. Michael Sacks's background in distressed investing informs a deal-sourcing approach that favors complexity and sponsor-adjacent situations over broadly auctioned credit.
