Frequently asked questions
How does Westmont Capital Advisors source proprietary deal flow?
The firm draws on the principals' existing relationships with middle-market lenders, commercial real estate developers, and infrastructure sponsors. Because Westmont operates as a deal-by-deal SPV arranger rather than a fund manager, it can source opportunities that larger institutions pass on due to ticket size — for example, bridge loans under $50 million or single-asset development projects.
Does Westmont commit its own capital alongside clients?
Public records indicate that Westmont does not maintain a balance sheet for co-investment. The managing principals may participate in vehicles as individual investors, but the firm itself does not anchor deals with committed capital — a design choice to avoid conflicts with the fiduciary duty to clients.
What investment stages does Westmont typically target?
Westmont focuses on debt and equity deals in the middle market — typically sponsor-backed or asset-backed situations with clear cash-flow or collateral support. Target investment horizons are 3 to 5 years for credit and 5 to 7 years for real estate. The firm explicitly avoids venture-stage or early-growth equity.
How is Westmont Capital Advisors structured relative to a single-family office?
Westmont is a multi-family office registered as an RIA, not a single-family office. It does not manage the capital of one founding family; instead, it aggregates capital from multiple ultra-high-net-worth families who collectively share access to each SPV. Its revenue comes from carried interest and transaction fees, not management fees.
Which sectors does Westmont explicitly avoid?
The firm avoids venture capital, early-stage biotechnology, and public-market long-only strategies. Its disclosed focus areas — private credit, real estate, and infrastructure — are all asset classes where the firm can underwrite cash flows or hard assets directly, steering clear of binary outcomes and mark-to-market volatility.
