Our mission is simple. We want to put business and property ownership in the hands of more people. We call this ownership-lens investing.

We tackle wealth inequality by investing in solutions that increase access to ownership. Our goal is to build a more inclusive economy where business and property ownership are distributed more broadly.

What will The Ownership Fund invest in?

We will invest in businesses, funds, and other platforms that support a broader distribution of business and property ownership. While the investable universe is broad, our investment themes include:

What will The Ownership Fund look for in an investment opportunity?

  • Accessibility of Ownership

    We want to increase access to business and property ownership. We look to invest in businesses, funds, and platforms that support a broader distribution of ownership, either by creating new ownership opportunities or by protecting existing independent ownership

  • Scalability or Replicability

    We are looking for big ideas with high impact potential. While scalable platforms are great, we also recognize that some problems require tailor-made solutions which address regional or industry-based nuances. We will invest in businesses, funds, and platforms catering to a specific region or industry, especially if there is potential for similar platforms to be replicated elsewhere.

  • Enduring Ownership

    Putting business and property ownership in the hands of more people is great and in our view, keeping it there is even better. We look for enduring solutions and evaluate investment opportunities based on their ability to maintain a broader distribution of ownership over time
