Dear visitor,

Whether a partner, or a prospective or current investor, I hope our newly relaunched website has helped to introduce you to some of Advanced Capital’s achievements and goals. This is an exciting time for the firm, as we launch both a new brand identity and an ambitious programme of global growth – while remaining true to the values which have generated such strong returns for our existing funds.

After more than a decade of success, in which we have provided consistently high returns in the face of almost unprecedented market volatility, we are proud to have been recognised this year by research firm Preqin as one of the very top funds of funds globally. We are seeking to build on this success with a new programme of high-quality investments, giving us access to a new set of opportunities. This new programme sees us focus on three core areas of expertise; private equity, opportunistic real estate and traditional energy. Our energy fund, AC GEO, will help to shape energy consumption over the next decade through investments in a number of funds, across the traditional and renewable energy sectors. We have ten years of expertise in energy investment. In real estate, our AC GREO fund is investing in distressed debt and assets, taking an opportunistic approach to recent volatility. Our success in private equity is long-established, and we will look to continue these successes and high returns as our investments continue.

This year we have made significant investments in distressed assets specialist mCAPITAL (based in London, Hong Kong and Amsterdam). This partnership demonstrate both the range of the investments we are seeking to make, across market sectors and geographies, and our consistent focus on managerial excellence with every investment.

mCAPITAL’s core team is composed of a group of highly skilled and specialist professionals who have worked together for over 10 years. We are confident that Advanced Capital’s focus on highly skilled and experienced managers, with proven track records of success, will allow us to continue to outperform both the market and our peers.

To reflect our new global ambitions, we have recently carried out a review of our brand. This review is now complete, and is reflected in our new logo and this website. This re-design represents our innovative thinking and sophistication whilst staying true to our ethics of trust, integrity and reliability.

With best wishes,

Robert Tomei
Chairman and CEO
