Tailwind Advisors
Tailwind Advisors traces its origins to 2009 when Jeff R. Dillard established the firm alongside Stewart Rollins Henderson and John Batton. The wealth originated in oil-and-gas ventures of the founding families. The multi-family office structure now serves several ultra-high-net-worth households. Allocations span public markets, private equity, real estate, natural resources and philanthropic vehicles. Investment types include direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments and private credit. Confirmed positions include the Tailwind II Logistics Center and I-35 Logistics Center in Laredo plus development work with Gulf Corp. Geographic focus remains North America with activity concentrated in Texas. Buyout and growth stages receive primary attention. The firm maintains a headquarters at 1320 S. University Drive in Fort Worth. Adjacent vehicles include Tailwind Real Estate Equities and the former Tailwind Philanthropic Advisors, now operating as Macy Hill & Company. No public disclosure exists on team size or additional offices. A structural distinction lies in the integration of real-asset development arms with investment allocation, executed through named joint ventures rather than external managers alone.
