Overview

Founded in 2017, Jadian is a New York and Stamford, Connecticut based investment firm targeting opportunities throughout the capital structures of real estate, related assets and asset-intensive businesses.  With a value-oriented, opportunistic approach, Jadian’s core mission is to craft investments in undervalued, high-quality assets.  The firm’s strategy focuses primarily on non-core sectors with characteristics likely to lead to long-term fundamental outperformance.  Jadian actively manages a portfolio of investments across the capital structure and its principals have a history of successfully executing investments across cycles, with diverse expertise in platform creation, distress, equity and credit.

We value long-term relationships and seek to partner with talented management teams and partners who are passionate about their business, are looking for more than just capital, and with whom we share a vision for value creation.
