History
Founded in 1990 under a predecessor name, Broadshore Capital Partners and its predecessor entities (“Broadshore”) began its investment business in the turmoil of the early 1990s recession. Beginning with its first separate account with a state pension plan, who remains a client today, Broadshore identified value in times of distress and continues to carry forward that mindset today.
In addition to its separate account investment activity, Broadshore captured its first workout assignment in 1991 and through the years a number of additional clients have engaged Broadshore to help workout portfolios and maximize value.
We have continued to build our team and grow our capabilities through the years with an important milestone occurring in August of 2010, when Guardian Life Insurance Company acquired a 50% interest in our business. Management strategically wanted to bring in a partner with a balance sheet to grow the business and augment our ability to co-invest alongside our investment partners. In January of 2019, Guardian Life Insurance Company and management acquired the remaining interest in the platform which was rebranded as Broadshore Capital Partners.
With over $9 billion of cumulative investments since our founding, Broadshore remains focused on creating value for our clients.
