Arosa Capital Management

What Arosa Capital Management does

Arosa Capital Management LP is a private, SEC-registered investment adviser founded in 2013 that manages a suite of complementary strategies focused on traditional and alternative energy and related sectors. The firm invests across public and private companies, credit, and commodities, targeting differentiated returns through what it describes as fundamental research combined with deep energy market expertise. Its co-founders, Till Bechtolsheimer (CEO and Portfolio Manager) and Abraham Joseph (Portfolio Manager), previously worked together at UBS O'Connor LLC covering the energy sector from 2007-2013.

The firm serves two primary client segments: institutional investors and accredited investors, accessed exclusively through confidential private placement offerings to qualified offerees. Revenue is generated via management fees on assets under management and performance fees (carried interest) on returns generated for fund investors. Distribution is relationship-driven, relying on direct sales and professional networks rather than broad marketing. Through its Arosa Ventures platform, the firm also makes venture capital investments in private companies pursuing alternative, renewable, or efficient energy technologies, with a disclosed portfolio of 17+ companies spanning battery materials, hydrogen storage, carbon capture, clean ammonia, energy storage software, and smart infrastructure.

The firm operates from offices in New York (headquarters at 1245 Broadway, 19th Floor) and Miami Beach, Florida (1674 Meridian Avenue, Suite 500), with a team of 1-10 employees. The investment team includes additional senior professionals with prior experience at PointState Capital, ISI Group, Credit Suisse, Encompass/PioneerPath Capital, Artio Global Investors, and other energy-focused investment firms. Operational leadership includes a COO/General Counsel/CCO and a CFO who also serves on the Investment Committee. The firm maintains a collaborative research culture where analysts contribute to each other's work to vet investment ideas.
