Overview
Prime Quadrant was founded in 1998 by Ian Rosmarin. Rosmarin built the platform from his prior family enterprise into an advisory firm serving ultra-high-net-worth clients. The firm allocates across private equity, real estate, hedge funds, private credit, and digital assets. It executes through direct co-investments, SPVs, and fund-of-funds structures. Confirmed co-investors include Dalfen Industrial and Starwood Capital Group on logistics portfolios in Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, and Austin. Additional positions involve 8090 Industries in Armada. Geographic coverage centers on North America and Europe. Prime Quadrant employs an internal team led by Mo Lidsky, who oversaw the 2025 management buyback of the prior 35 percent stake held by Focus Financial Partners. The firm maintains the Prime Quadrant Foundation for philanthropic activities and holds memberships in CAASA and AIMA. No additional offices are disclosed. The firm operates with a hybrid model that combines multi-family advisory mandates and proprietary co-investment vehicles. This structure allows continued participation in industrial real estate and technology deals alongside external partners after the 2025 ownership change.
