Amvest Capital

What Amvest Capital does

Amvest Capital is a New York City-based, privately held financial services firm specializing exclusively in the natural resources sector, with operations spanning capital markets advisory, investment banking, and asset management. Founded in 2017 by Gabriel Alonso-Mendoza and Stuart Macliver, the firm operates through three regulated subsidiaries: Amvest Capital Securities LLC (a FINRA/SIPC member broker-dealer), Amvest Capital Asset Management LLC (an SEC Exempt Reporting Adviser), and the Amvest Terraden Critical Minerals Fund (a long/short hedge fund focused on Western value-chain critical mineral equities).

The firm's core offering is distribution and investor engagement services for junior mining and natural resource issuers, delivered through a structured program of webinars, virtual roadshows, and in-person conferences across the United States and Europe. Amvest also maintains a global investor network spanning North and South America, Australia, Asia, and Europe, and leverages the strategic investor profile of Michael Gentile — a top-three shareholder in 25+ small-cap mining companies — as both a credibility anchor and a distribution channel. Revenue is generated from episodic capital markets advisory mandates, underwriting and broker-dealer fees, and recurring management and performance fees on the Terraden fund.

The go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with pricing not publicly disclosed and structured around bespoke mandates rather than standardized product tiers. Customers are almost exclusively early-stage mining and critical minerals companies seeking access to qualified institutional and retail resource investors. While the firm is small (1–10 employees), its regulatory infrastructure, sector specialization, and integration with Gentile's broader investment platform (including Bastion Asset Management, which manages over CAD$600 million) position it as a focused intermediary in a niche, cyclical capital markets vertical.
