Infrastructure for family offices making direct investments

We work with Single Family Offices and other LPs to swiftly filter, evaluate, and execute direct investment opportunities, providing discreet, high touch support every step of the way.

If you have taken the decision to join the growing number of family offices that are allocating a portion of their portfolios to direct opportunities, you will need the infrastructure to support that hands-on approach.

 

Recruiting and retaining a top-tier team is difficult, expensive and time-consuming – not to mention the governance, regulatory and tech burden that is part of leveraging these resources effectively.

 

Craton provides a swift and seamless solution.

What Our Clients Say

  • “We had the capital, the relationships, and the appetite — what we lacked was the infrastructure to move quickly and professionally on direct opportunities. Craton’s platform gave us the tools and people to act with confidence and clarity. They’re now a core part of how we invest.”

    CIO

    Multi-Asset LP with growing PE focus

  • “Craton helped us build a framework that reflects our values, our long-term goals, and our commitment to economic self-determination. Their ability to plug in real expertise — at the right time and in the right way — has made a huge difference to how confidently we now pursue direct investments.”

    Investment Manager

    Sovereign LP

  • “We didn’t want to build a full investment team from scratch, but still wanted to be active in private deals. Craton gave us everything we needed — from filtering our inbound opportunities to negotiating alongside us on complex transactions. It feels like having our own institutional platform, without the overhead.”
