Silver Lotus Capital is a Dallas-based family office investment manager

Our Mission

Our mission is to generate superior long-term returns through our investment approach while operating with the highest level of integrity.

As a single family office, our flexible mandate and long-term focus enable us to pursue opportunities across a broad range of industries, situations, and transaction types.

What Sets Us Apart?

Flexible Time Horizon 
With no pressure to return capital to outside investors, we have the flexibility to partner with management teams and grow value over the long-term.
Open-Minded Approach
We have experience in both growth and special situation investing and are comfortable dealing with complexity. We are willing to be contrarian to unlock value that others overlook.
Partnership Spirit
Culture is an important element of our investment approach. While larger private equity firms may invest in many companies each year, we are highly selective in choosing our partners. We love what we do and seek to align with good people to unlock value together.
Operational Mindset
The capital that we invest is sourced from our founder’s successful operation of multiple businesses through good and challenging economic cycles. We bring an operator’s mindset to our investments and can offer strategic and tactical expertise to our partners.
Creative Capital
We are not “one size fits all” investors with a narrow investment box. Our team has the experience and creativity to craft mutually beneficial capital solutions across a broad range of transaction structures.
Execution Certainty
Our lean structure enables us to move quickly and offer certainty in deal execution; when you deal with Silver Lotus, you are dealing with a key decision-maker.
