WE ARE a family office investment platform focused on direct private investments
C&S was formed by Jonathan Coslet, former Chief Investment Officer of TPG Global, as a platform to invest personal family office capital into private direct investment opportunities.
Laura Sims, former Partner at Sageview Capital, joined in 2018 as a Senior Partner of C&S.
We seek to construct a concentrated portfolio of private equity investments where C&S can be involved and impactful, through our experience, relationships and resources.
