Tschetter Group
Josh Tschetter founded the Tschetter Group in 2010 to consolidate and manage the wealth generated by the Tschetter family's retail and real estate holdings in the Upper Midwest. The firm has since expanded its mandate to include a broader set of alternative assets, operating as a single-family office with a direct-investment focus. Tschetter Group allocates capital across real estate (both commercial and residential developments), private credit (structured debt and direct lending), and early-stage venture capital. Its venture arm has backed companies in energy transition and tech, including a reported investment in a regional renewable-energy developer (per public record). The firm also manages a portfolio of operating businesses, primarily in retail and property management, and invests alongside co-investors on select club deals. Total assets under management are not publicly disclosed; Altss estimates the firm's AUM at $250M-$500M. The firm maintains a single office in Sioux Falls. In late 2023, Tschetter Group committed capital to a new mixed-use real estate project in South Dakota (locally reported). Josh Tschetter leads investment decisions alongside family principals. Tschetter Group's structure is distinctive for a Midwestern family office: it operates a permanent-capital vehicle without outside LPs, enabling a 10-20 year hold horizon for illiquid assets. The family's wealth is directly tied to operating businesses, not passive portfolios, which shapes a hands-on approach to governance and asset management.
