Privately-held alternative investment firm founded in 2000 to focus on special situation opportunities (structural sweet spots created by globalization, evolving business cycles and innovation).  Since its founding, Jupiter has been focused on sponsoring and developing special situation niche platforms in alternative assets.  We seek asymmetrical risk return opportunities that provides capital preservation with growth oriented returns.  Jupiter believes it can best manage/mitigate risk and create value under an owner operator model. Given our capital preservation ethos, we have a bias towards investments with real assets that can be monetized and businesses with structurally protected cashflows.
