-CORINTH CAPITAL PARTNERS-
Why Choose Corinth Capital?
Investment Thesis:
We operate as a typical Fund of Funds, only we do not invest like one. We believe single-investment vehicles with one underlying manager offer the potential for the highest returns.
In private equity, manager selection is the key driver of long-term returns. With so many private equity managers in the market, we simplify the chaos and offer only best-in-class, world-class managers. By building investments around a single manager, one at a time, we eliminate the blind-pool risk for our clients.
This allows investors to conduct thorough due diligence on each opportunity. We do the due diligence in the marketplace, so you don’t have to, with manager selection, strategy timing, etc, narrowing the field down, and reaching a conclusion and thesis for each fund offering.
Who We Partner with:
At Corinth, we provide an investment solution that addresses the private equity bucket for families and institutions. We work with sophisticated, high-net-worth individuals, families, executives, family offices, registered investment advisors, investment banks, advisors, consultants, and custodians.
The retail sector of the investment world has limited access to top-tier private equity managers. This space is still opaque to many investors who can invest but who do not have the right tools to invest. We aim to bridge that gap and serve as a trusted partner along that path.
By aggregating many investors together through our partnerships, we are able to provide them access to world-class fund managers typically only available to institutional investors, at a much lower entry barrier.

FOUNDER & MANAGING MEMBER
Jonas Schaefer
Jonas had the idea to start Corinth Capital Partners in 2016 to provide access to Fund managers he had worked with in the past and knew very well. Having observed that access to these managers was challenging for individual investors, Jonas sought out to create a boutique private equity fund of funds that evened out the playing field with large institutional investors. Having started his career with Diamond Edge Capital Partners in New York City in the mid 2000s, Jonas worked with some of the most well know and well established alternative asset managers raising capital primarily with institutional investors such as pension funds and endowments. A people person at heart, Jonas brings his passion to each Fund he creates and enjoys the interactions with his clients, service providers, custodians, and other industry players. When not talking up his latest Fund Jonas can be seen dining al fresco in the Bay Area, or playing at the park his young daughter and wife. Jonas has held Series 7 & 63 designations and earned an MBA in Finance from Golden Gate University and a BA in Dramatic Art from UC Davis. He is conversant in French. jschaefer@corinthcapital.com
