WEATHERING THE STORM
STRATEGIC, OPERATIONAL &
FINANCIAL RESOURCES
Diamond draws from a committed pool of capital. We are able to combine the financial and operational resources of a traditional family office with the relentlessness of an institutionally backed investment firm, aggressively pursuing opportunities for growth. Additionally, our structure affords us the flexibility to "look outside the box" and support business beyond the scope of a traditional fund. Ultimately we look to add value wherever possible - our investment thesis is not limited by particular size, asset class or sector.
Our flat organizational structure and straightforward, non-bureaucratic approach provide for expeditious decision making and quick execution from start to finish. We have the ability and savvy to provide capital and expertise to support unique opportunities.
Diamond has the strategic, operational and financial resources to deliver the required results. Further, our relationships with entrepreneurs and leaders around the globe empower our team to work diligently, quickly, and synergistically with others.

We are amply prepared to provide the resources and relationships necessary to achieve sustainable growth.
VERTICALLY INTEGRATED
