A 75-Year Perspective
Founded in 1949, A.W. Jones pioneered the hedged equity structure that has become a cornerstone of the alternative investment landscape. Since that time, A.W. Jones has continuously evolved its investment platform over more than 75 years. The firm's 1984 conversion to one of the earliest multi-manager hedge fund solutions was followed by the launch of a dedicated emerging and niche multi-manager hedge fund offering in 2017 and a private equity co-investment program in 2022. Each expansion has been driven by deepening research capabilities and a disciplined focus on identifying opportunities across market cycles.
Hedge Fund Solutions
A.W. Jones's hedge fund program is the firm's most diversified and longest-tenured offering, structured to address a range of investment mandates across single-client and multi-client arrangements. The program's scale and relationships have enabled the firm to structure mandates with negotiated fee terms. Customized solutions are available on a discretionary, non-discretionary, and sub-advisory basis through separately managed accounts, funds of one, and multi-series LLCs. Commingled funds are offered via onshore and offshore multi-manager structures spanning established, emerging, and niche hedge fund strategies.
Private Equity Solutions
A.W. Jones's private equity solutions program is designed to provide access to global growth-stage private equity co-investment opportunities through a concentrated, shorter-duration approach. Commingled funds target a selective set of opportunities within a defined duration profile. Co-investments are offered on a more opportunistic basis, utilizing the firm's structuring capabilities to provide access to single-asset investments through special purpose vehicle structures.
Strategic Partnerships
Investors increasingly seek strategic partnerships when constructing alternative investment programs, prioritizing alignment with specific investment policy guidelines, liability profiles, and portfolio objectives. Strategic partnerships can offer greater transparency, negotiated fee arrangements, and enhanced governance—along with direct oversight of underlying allocations, tailored risk parameters, and the flexibility to accommodate co-investment opportunities. As demand for bespoke alternative investment solutions continues to grow, A.W. Jones is positioned to support this evolution through its established infrastructure, extensive network of investment partners, and more than 75 years of investment experience.
