What Queensgate Investments does

Queensgate Investments is a London-based, independent investment and advisory platform focused on real estate, hospitality, and special situations. Founded in 2012, the firm advises on approximately €3 billion of cash and assets and has executed more than $6 billion in transactions across 14 countries spanning Europe, the United States, and the Gulf Cooperation Council. Its core offering combines cross-border deal sourcing, transaction execution, and portfolio management for institutional investors, family offices, and high-net-worth individuals seeking exposure to real estate and hospitality assets.

On 23 June 2026, CEO Jason Kow completed a 100% acquisition of Queensgate from AlTi Tiedemann (AlTi Global), transitioning the firm from a subsidiary of a global wealth manager overseeing approximately $77 billion in assets to a founder-owned independent platform. Concurrently, Kow established Halston Street, a separate Dubai-headquartered family office regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, to oversee principal investments globally. The platform recently monetized a notable principal position through the €776 million sale of the Generator Hostels portfolio to Brookfield, repositioning toward advisory-led economics.

Queensgate's business model rests on bespoke, relationship-based advisory mandates with fee arrangements that are not publicly disclosed but are consistent with industry-standard AUM-based and transaction-based fee structures. The firm operates with 101–250 employees and pursues cross-border opportunities in real estate, hospitality, and special situations, supported by its established multi-regional footprint and principal-investment arm under Halston Street.

Direct peers

• Patron Capital: European-focused real estate private equity and special-situations investor. Highly comparable to Queensgate on geography (Europe), sector (real estate/hospitality), and mandate (distressed/opportunistic), though Patron operates a closed-end fund model whereas Queensgate is advisory-led.
• KSL Capital Partners: US-based private equity firm dedicated exclusively to travel, leisure, and hospitality. Directly comparable to Queensgate's hospitality mandate and demonstrated hotel portfolio execution (e.g., Generator Hostels divestment).
• Cain International: London-based investment firm focused on real estate, hospitality, and lifestyle assets. Closely comparable on sector mix (luxury hotels, hospitality, real estate) and European/UK headquarters, and a natural competitor for similar mandates.
• Westbrook Partners: Global real estate special-situations and opportunistic investor. Directly comparable on special-situations mandate, cross-border execution, and distressed-asset focus that Queensgate also serves.
• Walton Street Capital: US- and India-focused real estate private equity firm. Comparable on real estate focus and cross-border execution, though Walton Street's geographic emphasis differs from Queensgate's Europe/US/GCC mix.
• Aermont Capital: London-based real estate investment manager with pan-European opportunistic and value-add strategies. Comparable to Queensgate on European focus, opportunistic mandate, and headquarters location.
• Henderson Park: London-based real estate investor with pan-European and US exposure. Comparable on cross-border real estate mandate, UK base, and institutional capital pool, with some overlap in hospitality-adjacent assets.

Broad incumbents

• Angelo Gordon (TPG): Now part of TPG, Angelo Gordon is a large-scale alternative asset manager with significant real estate and special-situations capabilities. Overlaps with Queensgate's real estate and special-situations mandates but at materially larger scale and broader mandate scope.
• AlTi Global (AlTi Tiedemann): Global wealth and investment partner overseeing approximately $77B in assets; Queensgate's former parent. Comparable on multi-family-office/wealth management capabilities and real estate investment reach, though materially larger and broader in mandate.
• Brookfield Asset Management: Global alternative asset manager with extensive real estate and hospitality operations. Comparable as the buyer of Queensgate's Generator Hostels portfolio; an incumbent counterparty whose scale dwarfs Queensgate's advisory platform.
