SCENIC ADVISEMENT

SCENIC ADVISEMENT traces to a 1906 founding as an independent not-for-profit organization. Barrett Cohn serves as co-founder and CEO while Michael Sobel acts as co-founder and president. Duncan Niederauer holds the non-executive chairman role. The firm allocates across private equity and secondaries strategies. Confirmed positions held through the Scenic Private Access Fund include Anthropic, Canva, ClassDojo, CoreWeave, Databricks, Dataminr, Fanatics, Intercom, Redwood Materials, Sila and Strava. Geographic reach covers the United States and Australia. Asset-class exposure also includes a 5.36 percent allocation to private equity. The organization lists 1.268 billion USD in assets. It maintains service relationships with Moss Adams LLP as auditor and Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati as legal counsel. Barrett Cohn participates in the Alliance of Chief Executives professional network. In March 2025 the firm appeared as a speaker at the CFO Summit in San Francisco. Governance centers on a founder-led structure with an external chairman drawn from NYSE Euronext leadership. The model separates operating decisions from the underlying McLeod Health philanthropic mandate while preserving direct limited-partner access to primary and secondary opportunities.
