Three Curve Capital
Three Curve Capital is a San Diego- and Munich-based firm investing in private credit, secondaries, and special situations. Unstructured, low-profile.
Three Curve Capital
Three Curve Capital was founded with offices in San Diego and Munich, positioning itself to source deals in both North America and Europe. The firm does not publicly disclose its founding principals or owners, though its structure suggests backing from one or more high-net-worth families seeking direct control over alternative assets. Strategy focuses on private credit, secondaries, and special situations, often in real estate and infrastructure sectors. The firm invests through direct holdings and structured vehicles, with a geographic emphasis on the US and select European markets. Known public portfolio positions are limited, but the firm has cited involvement in distressed debt restructurings and real estate debt placements in Germany and California (per public record). The firm maintains a lean team, with fewer than 10 professionals estimated based on minimal public footprint. Additional operations in Munich suggest a transatlantic sourcing model. No adjacent philanthropic vehicles or club memberships have been disclosed. As of late 2024, the firm has not announced any new fund closes or significant operational changes, indicating a low-profile, relationship-driven approach. Structurally unique for its lack of traditional fund marketing, Three Curve Capital operates as a quasi-family office, deploying capital on a discretionary basis without a commingled fund. This allows patient, non-transparent investing but limits external visibility and reporting requirements.
