The Strand Partners

The Strand Partners

The Strand Partners was established in 2010 by William C. Powers. Powers previously spent twenty years as a portfolio manager and managing director at PIMCO before moving into private-equity platforms. Marianne E. Powers serves as Managing Partner. The office maintains its headquarters in Boca Raton. The firm allocates across real estate, private equity, hedge funds, commodities, and collectibles. It participates in direct co-investments, SPVs, fund-of-funds commitments, and distressed situations. Confirmed holdings include Miami Worldcenter, Margaritaville Resort Orlando, and Paramount Fort Lauderdale. Positions also extend to residential estates in Palm Beach and Manalapan, plus an Aspen property. Activity spans North America and Europe. Investment stages include growth and seed. The office lists no public headcount. Additional vehicles include the William C. Powers Trust and William and Marianne Powers Philanthropy. William Powers holds a director role at the Princeton Varsity Club. David N. Powers acts as COO and Co-CIO. No operational events from the last twenty-four months appear in available records. The structure centers on a single family with direct oversight by the Powers principals. Capital deployment occurs through a mix of internal vehicles and external partnerships rather than a broad multi-client platform. This setup keeps decision authority within the founding family and a small circle of long-term co-investors.
