Rise North Capital Investment Advisors

Managing Partner Michael Grove leads the firm alongside Chief Investment Officer John Sullivan. Grove previously worked at Merrill Lynch, per public record.

Rise North operates exclusively as a direct co-investment firm, per public record. It does not commit to external funds. The firm arranges real estate and credit deals and layers in client capital alongside its own.

The firm focuses on direct real estate equity and mezzanine debt, along with infrastructure private credit. It targets value-add and opportunistic stages in the US Sun Belt and select European markets.

Rise North avoids venture capital, public equities, and early-stage technology investments, per its publicly stated focus on real assets and credit.

Rise North is a multi-family office serving a small group of ultra-high-net-worth families. It does not charge management fees; instead, it earns a profit share on deals it arranges, per public record.

Rise North leads many deals itself but will co-invest alongside trusted institutional GPs in real estate and private credit transactions. It does not participate in blind-pool funds.

The origin of client wealth is not publicly disclosed. The firm's principals have backgrounds in wealth management at Merrill Lynch, but the families themselves are not identified.
