Hall Capital

What Hall Capital does

Hall Capital is a third-generation, family-owned private investment company headquartered in Oklahoma City, tracing its origins to automotive pioneer Fred Allison Jones's 1920 Ford dealership. The firm operates three core investment platforms: Automotive (Fred Jones Companies and Fred Jones Enterprises, a Ford Authorized Distributor of remanufactured powertrain assemblies serving dealers across the southern United States), Real Estate (Hall Capital Commercial Real Estate and the Hall Emery joint venture with Spectrum|Emery, focused on multi-tenant office and industrial properties across the Southeastern and Southwestern US), and Private Investment (Hall Capital Partners Funds I, II, and III, plus two real estate funds, deploying lower-middle-market buyout capital into industrials, automotive, lighting, and consumer products). Hall Energy manages non-operating and royalty interests in oil and gas acreage primarily in Oklahoma and Texas.

The company makes money through management fees and incentive participation on capital commitments from outside LPs (with the Hall family co-investing on the same terms), rental income and development gains on commercial real estate, automotive parts distribution margin from Ford and FCA powertrain sales, and royalty income from mineral interests. Across its history the firm has raised more than $250 million in committed capital across its private equity and real estate funds, including Catalyst/Hall ($50M, 2002 — closed 2014 with a 7x return), Hall Capital Partners Fund I ($53M, 2006 — closed 2018 returning over 2x), Fund II ($92M, 2011), Hall Capital Fund III ($60M, 2014), and Hall Capital Real Estate Fund II ($75M, 2020, the largest real estate fund to date). The current private equity portfolio includes JAC Products, Jerdon Style and Strong Lighting, with Hall Emery's Nashville music row development sold for $78.5 million in 2021 and the most recent acquisition being AC Direct (HVAC wholesale) in April 2026.

Hall Capital is led by Chairman & CEO Fred J. Hall, Vice Chairman & CFO Kirkland Hall, and Vice Chairman & Executive Vice President Brooks "Boots" Hall, Jr., and is supported by a CIO (Will Alexander, 2022) and a board that includes former Ford executives, Tennessee economic development officials, and senior figures from Trammell Crow and Highwoods Properties. The firm has offices in Oklahoma City, Nashville, Chicago, Dallas and Tulsa, and is positioned as a long-duration, multi-platform family investment vehicle with a 100+ year operating history.
