Westend Capital Management

Peter Hildebrandt founded the firm and served as the Chief Investment Officer and portfolio manager for its entire operational history. All investment decisions ran through Hildebrandt directly, with no public record of a separate investment committee or co-portfolio manager. The firm's ADV filings consistently listed him as the sole control person.

Westend ran a concentrated, long-only public equity portfolio with roughly 15 to 20 holdings, targeting small- and mid-cap technology and financial services companies. The strategy relied on fundamental, bottom-up research and occasionally involved activist-style engagement through 13D filings when the firm sought to influence capital allocation or board decisions at portfolio companies.

The firm withdrew its SEC registration as an investment adviser in April 2023, effectively marking the end of its regulated investment operations. No successor vehicle or re-registration under the same name has appeared in SEC filings since that withdrawal (per SEC IAPD records, 2023).

Westend did not participate in co-investment structures alongside external general partners. As a public-equities-only manager, the firm deployed capital through direct purchases of listed stocks and did not operate an alternatives or private-equity allocation program that would require co-investment partnering.

There is no public record of a related foundation, donor-advised fund, or operating company tied to Westend Capital Management. The firm's structure was limited to the registered investment adviser entity, with no disclosed affiliated vehicles in credit, venture, real assets, or philanthropy.
