Leon Capital Group is a holding company that operates assets in the financial services, healthcare, real estate, and technology industries. Leon is not a private equity fund; we operate as a family office overseeing $10 billion of private capital. Over the last 14 years, the family office has generated a 34.56% IRR and 11.36x MOIC for our own capital. We only come to market with our highest conviction investment themes and seek to provide opportunities for RIA’s and other family offices to invest alongside our firm. In fact, each strategy we launch has a significant amount of our family office capital invested.

How Are We Different:

0. Leon Capital Group is one of highest performing multi-decade private real estate investors, exceeding Pitchbook’s North American Real Estate 15-year Horizon IRR Index by over 1229 basis points.
1. We are an investor first, putting up substantial capital alongside our third-party investors. Our priority is compounding capital, and prioritizing wealth creation for all parties, rather than fee income.
2. We offer nimble funds that provide diversification to larger asset manager alternative products. We buy, develop and finance real estate assets that fall well below institutions’ radar therefore creating the potential for a differentiated return source.

At RG Niederhoffer, our Macro Diversified Program (30y track record) has achieved +138% since 2020 with a -0.3 correlation to the S&P, with top of class returns in the '00-'02 Tech Crash, '07-'08 GFC, and 2022 inflation. Our approach is different: a new equity replacement strategy combines our short-term, systematic strategy with 100% S&P 500, aiming for full upside capture, S&P return plus 5-10%, reduced downside, and lower vol than the S&P. A study showed that adding our program to an S&P or 60/40 portfolio improved 5Y total return and Sharpe more than any major hedge fund. Our strategy strongly enhances 60/40 portfolios and even Bitcoin investments & can be used standalone as a positive return, two-sided tail risk program. Daily liquid, $1B AUM, 23 employees.
