At Ginkgo Private, being different is not a marketing position. It is a deliberate set of choices — about who we work with, how we structure relationships, and what we actually believe about building wealth.
We are legally and ethically obligated to act in your best interest — not ours, not a product provider's. We do not receive commissions. We do not have product targets. Our only measure of success is your financial outcome.
We work exclusively with wholesale investors. This is not just a legal threshold — it means every process, every conversation, and every investment structure we build is designed for sophisticated investors with complex needs, not retrofitted from a retail framework.
We are selective about who we work with because genuine partnership requires depth, not volume. A small client base means our advisers have the time and focus to understand your full financial picture — across investments, tax, estate, and family — and act on it proactively.
Our founding partners bring experience from funds management, investment committee leadership, Big Four banking, and deep technical research — a combination rarely found in a boutique of our size. You benefit from institutional-grade thinking with the direct accountability of people who built this firm and have their own name on it.
Where appropriate, our principals invest in the same opportunities we recommend to clients. Alignment of interest is not a phrase we put in a document — it is a position we take with our own capital.
You will always know what you pay, why we made each decision, and how your portfolio is performing against your goals. We do not hide behind complexity. If we cannot explain a recommendation clearly, we do not make it.

Index funds guarantee you will never outperform the market — by design. We believe genuine wealth creation requires active thinking, independent research, and the willingness to take a position. We are engaged investors, not passengers.
Markets reward patience. Constant buying and selling destroys wealth through costs, taxes, and poor timing. We build portfolios designed to be held, not traded. We measure success in years and decades, not quarters.
The most powerful force in wealth creation is not a single brilliant trade — it is the quiet, relentless compounding of disciplined decisions over time. We are not here to generate headlines. We are here to build portfolios that grow steadily, survive market dislocations, and compound meaningfully across generations.
Diversification is not simply owning many things. A portfolio of 50 small positions in correlated assets is not diversification — it is dilution. We build genuine diversification across structurally different asset classes and across vintage years, so clients are never wholly exposed to a single point in the market cycle.
Alpha is not generated by taking a 1% position in everything. It is generated by being right about a smaller number of things and having the courage to act on that view. Where we have done the work and formed a strong view, we back it with meaningful allocation. Every position in a Ginkgo portfolio has a reason to be there.
We do not wait for the market to move and then respond. We anticipate. We stress-test portfolios against economic scenarios before they arrive. Our clients should never feel decisions are being made in reaction to yesterday's news — they should feel we were already prepared for it.

Buying the whole market means owning the good and the bad in equal measure.
We believe our clients deserve better than average.
Chasing performance or reacting to volatility destroys value. We do not confuse activity with progress.
Owning a little of everything is not a strategy. It is the absence of one.
Average management produces average outcomes. Our clients have worked too hard to settle for that.
