Hunt Capital Partners

What Hunt Capital Partners does

Hunt Capital Partners (HCP) is a tax credit syndication firm founded in September 2010 as a division of Hunt Companies, Inc. (founded 1947). The firm finances affordable housing development by syndicating Federal and State Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC), Historic Tax Credits (HTC), Solar Tax Credits, Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), Tribal Housing, and Special Needs tax credits to institutional investors, while providing developers with equity and financing from underwriting through disposition. As of the most recent reporting period, HCP has raised $3.8B in tax credit equity across 49 funds, financed 281 properties through 278 developer partners, and created or preserved 26,789 affordable homes across 48 states and territories. The firm is headquartered in Los Angeles (Encino area) with 8 regional offices nationwide and a staff of 51–100.

HCP's underlying platform combines origination (a nationwide acquisitions team), underwriting, fund structuring, and long-horizon asset management for tax credit partnerships. Revenue is generated through three primary mechanisms: (1) acquisition and syndication fees on equity raised, (2) annual asset management fees on deployed fund capital, and (3) development financing services provided to project sponsors. Major institutional LPs include JPMorgan Chase, Bank of Hawaii, First Hawaiian Bank, Bank OZK, CVS Health, and Zions Bank. The firm reports a 95% track record of hitting investor yield targets and 0 foreclosures across its portfolio to date — operating metrics that anchor its reputational capital in a relationship-driven business.

The most significant recent strategic activity centers on Fund 52, which closed at $277.1MM in November 2025 — HCP's largest single fund to date — alongside continued geographic expansion (Hawai'i and Tribal Housing entries), new product initiatives (the Emerging Developer Fund for MWBE developers), and high-profile project closings such as the $125MM West End Lofts with Sycamore Development. The firm does not publicly disclose revenue, fees, or parent-company financial flows, and operates with no disclosed proprietary technology stack beyond a third-party investor portal (MRI Software). Hunt Capital Partners is privately held as a subsidiary of Hunt Companies, with no announced plans for IPO, M&A, or structural separation from the parent.
