Overview

Partners Capital acts as the OCIO to endowments, foundations and high-net-worth private clients. [5] [6] Its private clients are primarily money managers, including senior partners and founders of investment firms. [4] [7] The firm was founded in London in 2001 by Stan Miranda and Paul Dimitruk. Since its inception, the firm has grown from US$10 million in assets to US$60 billion in 2024. Today, the firm has offices in London, Boston, New York, San Francisco, Paris, Singapore and Hong Kong and has over 360 employees. [4]

The firm invests exclusively with unaffiliated managers with which it shares no economics. The firm believes that the OCIO’s role should be entirely separate from the role of managing assets. [8] [9]
