Rylander Richter

Rylander Richter was founded in 1995 by John Rylander and David Richter in Los Angeles. The firm originated as a single-family office for the founders' own wealth, which was generated through prior entrepreneurial ventures in consumer goods and real estate. Over time, the firm transitioned into a multi-family office serving a small group of ultra-high-net-worth families. The investment strategy at Rylander Richter encompasses a mix of asset classes including private credit, hedge funds, real estate, and infrastructure. The firm operates with a long-term, value-oriented approach and focuses on direct investments alongside select fund commitments. Public filings suggest the firm has taken positions in commercial real estate assets in the United States and European infrastructure projects (per SEC filings, 2023). Co-investments alongside external GPs are a stated part of the firm's approach. The firm's professional headcount is not publicly reported, though public records indicate a lean team structure consistent with a boutique multi-family office. Rylander Richter maintains one primary office in Los Angeles. The firm's principals are active in philanthropic organizations, though no formal foundation is disclosed in public records. The firm does not operate a separately branded venture arm or fund vehicle. A structural differentiator for Rylander Richter is its explicit focus on private credit as a core allocation, which is less common among traditional multi-family offices. The firm sources proprietary deal flow through its network of founding principals and has a reputation for maintaining concentrated portfolios rather than broad diversification across many assets. Succession planning is handled internally with no publicly disclosed plans for external leadership.
