C&S Capital Partners is a family office investment platform focused on direct private investments

C&S Capital Partners was formed in 2014 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 and serves as the Chief Investment Officer of C&S.

C&S seeks to construct a concentrated portfolio where C&S can be involved and impactful, through our experience, relationships and resources.

Our Philosophy & Differentiators

Aligned Partnerships: We are investing our own capital and seek to partner with owners, operators and investors who share our values and objectives, and value our experience. 

Flexible Mindset: We bring the benefits of a sophisticated and experienced approach to private investing, but with the flexibility and long-term perspective of a family office.

Value-Added Involvement: We seek to leverage our decades of private equity experience and deep relationship networks to actively support the growth of our investments. 

Collaborative Approach:  We work with our partners to align around clear value creation plans and goals.

Transparency:  We work with speed, integrity, and straightforward communication, whether in the diligence process or the post-transaction phase. 

Concentrated Portfolio:  We only make a few investments per year, and each one matters to us.
