Pivotal Group

Pivotal Group is a private, entrepreneurial investment firm with over 40 years of experience, operating without the constraints of a traditional fund-based business model. The firm is dedicated to creating long-term value across multiple asset classes by identifying companies with strong business models and management teams, and enhancing their value through strategic guidance and financial backing. Pivotal Group funds its investments with internally generated capital, allowing for speed, flexibility, and patience in its investment approach.

Founded in 1985, Pivotal Group operates as a family office, focusing on a diverse range of investment strategies. The firm seeks to develop deep insights to create lasting legacies and world-shaping companies that lead in their market segments, show growth potential, and exhibit attractive margins.

Pivotal Group's investment strategy spans private equity, private credit, real estate, and public equity. In private equity, the firm targets middle-market companies undergoing significant transitions, including corporate divestitures and underappreciated public firms, often acquiring them as standalone platforms or integrating them into existing portfolio companies. Their real estate investments include master-planned communities and landmark properties such as the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles and the Ritz-Carlton in Phoenix. Notable portfolio companies and investments include GTT Communications, Carlton, Network Solutions, SnapCare, CYR3CON, Hilton Phoenix Resort at the Peak, RCD Mallorca, and GlobalMeet.
