The Firm
Small by design
AlphaStone is run by its principals. Decisions are made by the people whose capital is at risk, and we bring in outside counsel, accountants and specialists when a situation calls for them.
Around the firm is a circle of operators and investors built over decades in New York, Hong Kong and Shanghai. It is how we hear about things early, and how we check what we hear.
Capital
Our own money
AlphaStone invests permanent family capital. There are no outside investors, no fund and no fees. The only money at risk is our own, which is what lets us hold through market cycles and think in decades rather than quarters. Where we invest alongside others, they invest for their own account, as we do.
Investment Disclosure: AlphaStone invests only its own capital and does not offer interests in any fund or other vehicle. Nothing on this page is an offer, solicitation or investment advice. All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of the entire amount invested.
