Chilton Investment

What Chilton Investment does

Chilton Investment Company, Inc. is a privately held investment management firm founded in 1992 by Richard L. Chilton, Jr. and headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut (with additional offices in New York and London). The firm operates as a registered investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and its U.K. subsidiary is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority. Chilton pursues opportunistic, long-term investments on behalf of sophisticated and institutional clients using a fundamental, bottom-up investment approach with an "ownership mentality," offered through both long/short and long-only strategies.

The firm manages discretionary capital across public-equity opportunities, as evidenced by periodic Form 13F filings disclosing positions such as a ~$7.5 million stake in APi Group Corporation and a position in Wynn Resorts Ltd. Its core operating model relies on a small team of long-tenured investment professionals supported by an institutional-grade back-office provided through a partnership with Citco Fund Services, which delivers investor reporting, statements, K-1s, and portfolio analytics via the Citco Online Portal.

Revenue is generated through investment advisory services — a recurring, fee-based model paid by clients for portfolio management — though specific fee schedules, AUM, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is conducted primarily through direct client relationships: dedicated Client Relations teams in New York (Teddy Wackerman) and London (James Duckworth-Chad) serve institutional and family-office investors, supported by password-protected philosophy content and a passive firm-updates website section. The firm maintains minimal external marketing footprint, relying instead on its 31-year operating history and the reputational capital of its founder-led leadership team.
