Sunpointe Investments was established in 2016 by Michael Pompian. The firm operates as a multi-family office serving wealthy families, private foundations and select institutions. Sunpointe constructs portfolios across direct co-investments and SPVs, hedge funds, private equity and real estate. It maintains a North America footprint with activity in the United States. Confirmed holdings include a Melbourne, Florida build-to-rent residential development and Bitcoin ETF positions. The firm also negotiates access to private opportunities and coordinates multi-generational planning. The firm employs an estimated internal AUM near 791 million USD. It maintains a Kansas City office led by Ryan Heidenreich. Michael Pompian holds a faculty role at the UHNW Institute. Philanthropic ties include support for Our Lady's Inn and Room to Read. Merchant Investment Management acquired a minority non-controlling stake in 2020. This structure preserves operational independence while adding institutional backing for the multi-family platform.
