Hersh Family Investments
Patient and Flexible Capital Partnerships for Private Market Investments
Hersh Family Investments (HFI) invests the family’s capital in opportunities with the potential to create substantial long-term value. Founded by Kenneth A. Hersh, HFI focuses on private equity, venture capital and real estate investments with a focus on exceptional management teams and long-term partnerships.
HFI differs from a typical investment firm by managing its own capital without the restrictions often found with institutional private equity funds. We provide an attractive alternative to companies and executive teams in search of committed partners that provide the flexibility to take long-term perspectives in order to build great companies over time.
