Saranac Partners
Tom Kalaris launched Saranac Partners in 2016. The firm operates as a multi-family office owned by employee partners and strategic investors. It focuses on investment management for ultra-high-net-worth families. Saranac Partners deploys capital across real estate, energy exposure and digital assets. It structures holdings through direct positions and advisory mandates rather than external fund commitments. Geographic reach centers on the United Kingdom and broader Europe. Confirmed activity includes debt advisory on Sidara's acquisition of John Wood Group PLC. The firm maintains a client team led by Michelle Witter. Walter Global Asset Management took a strategic minority stake in 2024. Saranac Partners holds UNPRI signatory status since 2022 and supports the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates network. Employee ownership combined with outside strategic capital creates a hybrid governance model uncommon among pure multi-family offices. This structure ties firm economics directly to client outcomes while adding external balance-sheet capacity for larger mandates.
