Chi-Rho Financial

What Chi-Rho Financial does

Chi-Rho Financial LLC is a privately held Atlanta-based alternative investments firm founded in January 2000 by Joe B. Hurley IV, operating as a hedge fund manager and registered Commodity Trading Advisor. The firm serves accredited investors and institutional clients (family offices, endowments, foundations) through a relationship-led sales motion, offering a menu of four investment vehicles: the Chi-Rho Multi-Strategy Fund (CRMS, launched 2022) which allocates to external managers via separately managed accounts using a market-neutral approach; Dunwoody Partners, L.P., an onshore fund-of-funds launched in 2000; Stone Mountain Partners, an offshore mirror for non-US and tax-exempt capital; and Piedmont Partners, a custom platform that lets investors construct individualized portfolios from approved hedge fund managers. Across these vehicles Chi-Rho provides access to 20–30 capacity-constrained hedge funds spanning fundamental and quantitative equities, corporate and structured credit, fixed income arbitrage, event-driven, convertibles, and volatility strategies.

The firm structures itself as a platform-plus-products architecture anchored on continuous risk monitoring at the firm, portfolio, manager, and position levels, with managers selected for personal capital co-investment ("skin in the game") and multi-cycle pedigrees. Chi-Rho does not disclose proprietary technology systems; investor-portal and back-office functions are delivered via SS&C. Revenue is generated through management fees and, where applicable, performance fees (carried interest) consistent with alternative-asset manager economics, with no publicly disclosed pricing.

The firm is founder/family-controlled (Hurley family), reports 1–10 employees at the firmographic level with a deeper leadership bench of 13 named professionals, and reports an estimated $795M in AUM across 150+ partnerships as of December 31, 2025. Recent strategic activity has focused on institutionalizing risk and compliance through 2025 hires (Dmitry Green as Risk Advisor; Elli Kavros as Chief Compliance Officer) and on expanding the product set into SMAs and multi-strategy structures.
