Underlying this investment approach is a deep desire to demonstrate the huge investment potential that resides in breakthrough commercial solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. With offices in New York City and Palo Alto, the firm has grown to manage more than $10 billion in multi-asset class portfolios for families, foundations and institutional investors.
Aristata Capital was founded in 2018 and is the first litigation fund dedicated to driving positive social and environmental change with an attractive financial return.
