Monarch Private Capital

What Monarch Private Capital does

Monarch Private Capital is a privately held impact investment firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that operates as a fund manager and tax credit equity syndicator. Founded in 2005 by George L. Strobel II and Robin Delmer, the company develops, finances, and manages diversified portfolios of projects that generate federal and state tax credits across four verticals: affordable housing (LIHTC), historic rehabilitation, renewable energy (solar, wind, ITC/PTC), and film & entertainment. Monarch reports it is the largest broker of film credits in the United States, and since inception has managed tax equity investments in more than 1,071 projects across 42 states plus D.C., facilitating over $9.5 billion in tax credits, $23 billion in project capital, and $42 billion in economic impact.

The firm's core products are tax credit equity investment funds structured as direct project investments rather than pooled diversified vehicles, with revenue generated through management fees and carried interest. It serves two distinct customer sets: institutional investors (corporations, banks, insurance companies, and high-net-worth individuals seeking ESG-aligned tax-optimized returns) and developers requiring tax credit equity capital to close project financing stacks. Operational subsidiaries include Alchemy Renewable Energy (a portfolio company developing and operating utility-scale solar assets) and Monarch Film Credits (the film tax credit brokerage arm). The company is co-led by Strobel and Delmer as Co-CEOs, with vertical heads in LIHTC, Historic, and Renewable Energy, plus dedicated CFO and Chief ESG Officer functions.

Distribution is relationship-driven and consultative, executed through direct institutional sales and developer financing channels supported by regional offices throughout the US, an annual Impact Report, the Monarch Perspectives podcast, the Impact Calculator tool, and senior leadership visibility in industry bodies such as SEIA, ACORE, and the Forbes Finance Council. Recent strategic activity—Generate Capital's 104 MW community solar portfolio, Crayhill's $300M Monarch JVT Funding vehicle, HSBC's $275M bond issuance, and a record $120M in historic credit closings in 2025—indicates active scaling of the platform.
