Who We Are
At Freestone, we believe in making a meaningful difference by focusing on what truly matters to our clients. With a 27-year history of consistent growth and success, we are an independent wealth and asset management firm with over $15 billion in assets under management. Headquartered in Washington, with a team of over 130 professionals, we are dedicated to delivering a highly personalized experience that combines intelligent, thoughtful advice with unique investment strategies and comprehensive financial planning.
About the Role
Freestone is seeking a proactive and organized individual to serve as a Private Equity Analyst as part of our Investment Team. The Private Equity Analyst will work within the Advantage Partners Fund Series, Freestone’s opportunistic private markets platform, providing our clients access to direct investments in private equity, energy, credit, and specialty insurance. In our private equity and energy strategies, we typically take majority-control positions alongside management teams, with investments across industrial services, oil and gas, and business services. Our credit and specialty insurance strategies round out the platform, giving the team a broad lens on private markets and the flexibility to pursue opportunities wherever we see the best risk-adjusted returns. Now in its seventh fund vintage, the platform has grown alongside Freestone’s client base, seeded several of Freestone’s dedicated strategy funds, and continues to expand into new strategies and relationships.
