Our Strategies

Uinta Investment Partners identifies and structures uncorrelated, scalable private investments in “under the radar” market segments that are predisposed to deliver interim cash flows, enhanced economic value over the life of the investment and mitigated downside risk. We collaborate with field experts who have successfully used conservative business practices and scalable processes in the pursuit of clearly defined objectives. We capitalize on uncrowded or unusual opportunities likely to provide higher total returns and enhance long-term value. We fund each strategy and invest side-by-side with our limited partners. Our strategies offer complementary, uncorrelated portfolios that seek to improve our investors' risk-adjusted portfolio returns.

Value-add Housing

We partner with local real estate specialists to identify off-market properties with unrealized value. We commit long-term capital to acquire and improve the property, with a five-to-seven-year investment horizon.

Litigation Finance

We work with litigation experts to access investment opportunities and resolve inherent operational and structural challenges of this uncorrelated market segment that offers diversification, high income and attractive total returns over a three to five-year investment period.

The administrator for our Funds is SEI AFO
