1994


Our journey began in 1994, when we were established to serve as the U.S. private equity and real estate investment partner for a Western European business family with an entrepreneurial heritage dating back to 1833.

1998 to 2002


As we grew, in 1998 we became part of Lehman Brothers, helping downstream energy sector businesses access capital and strategic advice, now as part of a $280 billion global financial institution. 

2002 to 2010


In 2002, backed by Defoe Fournier & Cie., we separated our business from Lehman Brothers, as Defoe Redmount, proceeding to invest private equity in middle market businesses.

2010 - 2020


To extend and grow our capabilities, we strategically co-founded or invested in financial firms focused on enabling success in the middle market.
