CAZ Investments, a Houston, TX-based investment manager, made a $200m commitment to Grafine Partners, a NYC-based investment management firm that identifies differentiated sources of alpha by investing in new firms led by experienced private equity investors.
Formed in 2019 by Elizabeth Weymouth, Grafine seeks differentiated sources of alpha by partnering with experienced private market investors in establishing new firms, accelerating their growth and institutionalizing their businesses. Grafine’s partnerships with experienced dealmakers provide the firm’s investors with direct access to de-risked, differentiated off-market opportunities. In partnership with its entrepreneur and family office network, RedBird Capital Partners, a private investment firm focused on building high-growth companies with flexible, long-term capital, was an early backer of Grafine.
Elizabeth Weymouth, Founder and Managing Partner of Grafine, said: “We are grateful for the support and trust Christopher and his team at CAZ Investments has placed in us and in our strategy. We believe this is an exceptionally compelling time to be investing in new private equity managers and diversified return streams and we are poised to capitalize on this exciting opportunity.“
