Lone Star Funds

About Lone Star Funds

Lone Star Funds is a private equity and buyout investment firm with its principal office in London, United Kingdom, founded in 1995. It acts as a global investment adviser. It began with the formation of the Brazos Fund in March 1995 and developed into a multi-strategy platform. Its core mandate is to find and buy assets in varied sectors that show deep value or are complex investment opportunities. A disciplined underwriting process and an agile capital base help it limit downside risk while capturing significant upside. Over more than thirty years it has grown from a single vehicle into a broad institutional platform with a presence in major financial markets worldwide. Investments fall into three main asset classes: Private Equity, Credit and Real Estate. Capital goes into corporate equity, distressed debt and physical property across North America, Western Europe, Japan and the wider Asia Pacific region. In real estate, strategies target opportunistic and value-add acquisitions, often involving non-performing loans or undermanaged commercial portfolios, and the firm navigates cyclical market shifts and liquidity constraints. In credit, it provides financing or buys debt instruments where traditional capital may be scarce. Throughout, it follows a value investing focus, seeking outsized returns from undervalued or mispriced assets at different stages of the economic cycle. Regional offices in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific provide local market expertise and serve institutional clients such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds and other large investors seeking alternative asset class exposure. The platform has operated continuously since the mid-1990s and has organized a succession of funds built for specific market opportunities. Its internal expertise and global infrastructure let it handle complex regulatory and economic environments, and it remains a significant participant in international private equity and real estate, with a disciplined approach to capital preservation and growth.
