Alternative investments. Family office thinking.
Ragland Capital invests directly across private credit, private equity, real estate and venture capital. We are the investment firm of the Ragland-Story family, extending to our co-investors the same terms on which we commit our own capital.
We are generalists by structure and specialists by discipline. Every opportunity clears similar underwriting hurdles, but each may be specialised to their respective industry and asset class.
Direct and specialty lending where the collateral is understood and the borrower is known. Structured for downside first, yield second, and an expectation of consistency.
Control and significant minority positions in businesses with real cash generation, at a price that does not require a long-winded story to work.
Assets we can underwrite, building by building and market by market, held for income and long duration rather than an exit multiple.
Early positions rooted in solving a problem we have lived. Small checks, long patience, and no pretense that we can time a cycle.
Ragland Capital is the investment firm of the Ragland-Story family. We invest directly, we open select opportunities to those who invest alongside us, and we offer the same machinery to other families as a service.
Principal capital deployed across the four verticals. We invest our own capital first and we hold what we underwrite.
The network access and experience of a family office, delivered for a flat monthly fee. The same system we built to run our own affairs, offered to families between $2M and $40M AUM who get neither from the institutions that serve them. Explore Family Office Services →
Select opportunities are opened to accredited investors on the same terms we take ourselves. Our capital sits in the same position as theirs, which is the only alignment that survives long-term.
Every investment decision answers to that sentence. It is the reason we hold rather than trade, the reason the fee structure is flat, and the reason we would rather compound quietly for a decade than raise a fund we have to feed.
We are not opening trophy offices. We are placing seasoned investors in the markets we want exposure to, people who already understand the local capital structures, the regulatory environment and where the deals actually come from. Austin, Los Angeles and London are live today. The rest is the plan.
Running a family’s affairs means a dozen professionals, hundreds of documents and decisions that reach across generations. We built the systems to do that for ourselves first.
Most families between $2M and $40M AUM carry the same complexity as families ten times their size, and the institutions serving them offer neither the access nor the time. That gap is the reason this service exists.
It runs both ways. Families who come to us also gain insight into our own capital, from the very first session, an open and honest conversation.
