Fairbourne Capital

What Fairbourne Capital does

Fairbourne Capital is a privately held investment office founded in 2019 and operated as a sole-principal practice by Jason Triplitt, CFA, from Oxshott, United Kingdom. The firm provides three service lines: selective investing across public equities, private equity, and private credit; independent research published as essays, LinkedIn notes, and a Substack newsletter from an "asset owner's perspective"; and senior advisory engagements with portfolio companies and investment platforms. Triplitt's positioning rests on 17.5 years at GIC, including his role as Head of European Equities managing a $10bn+ pan-European public and private growth equity strategy and concurrent service on GIC's c. 35-person Managing Committee from 2012 to 2018.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: there is no proprietary platform, software product, or data product. Intellectual property is limited to a published research catalogue (including essays on WeWork, staying-private-for-longer theses, private credit asset-gathering, and AI market corrections) and the principal's personal professional network. Distribution is content-led via LinkedIn, Substack, and the company website, with senior advisory delivered through direct engagement rather than intermediaries.

Commercially, Fairbourne Capital is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and discloses no pricing, fees, or revenue. Reported revenue streams are returns from selective personal investing and professional services fees from advisory engagements. The stated customer segments — asset owners, family offices, wealth managers, and boards — are served through relationship-based, bespoke engagements rather than standardised product offerings, and the firm carries no institutional investors, parent company, or external ownership.

Emerging players

• StepStone Group: Private-markets-focused investment consultant and fund-of-funds manager with advisory and advisory research for institutional asset owners. Comparable in private-equity/private-credit advisory coverage and institutional clientele.
• Cliffwater LLC: Independent investment consulting firm focused on credit, real assets, and private-markets research for institutional asset owners. Comparable specialised advisory focus to Fairbourne's private-credit angle.

Direct peers

• NEPC: Independent investment consulting firm advising pensions, endowments, foundations, and wealth clients on asset allocation and manager selection across public and private markets. Closely comparable boutique-to-mid-scale competitor.
• Verus Investments: Independent investment consulting firm offering institutional asset owners multi-asset research, manager due diligence, and portfolio advisory. Directly comparable boutique-to-mid-scale independent advisory profile.
• Cambridge Associates: Boutique investment-advisory firm advising institutional investors, endowments, and foundations on multi-asset portfolios. Closest large-scale comparable to Fairbourne's asset-owner advisory mandate across public and private markets.
• Marquette Associates: Independent investment consulting firm advising institutional clients on asset allocation, manager selection, and risk. Comparable small/independent firm profile with institutional asset-owner client base.
• Meketa Investment Group: Independent investment consulting firm serving public pensions, endowments, and foundations with multi-asset-class advisory. Highly comparable client base and asset-owner-perspective positioning to Fairbourne Capital.
• Albourne Partners: Independent investment consultant specialising in alternative investments (PE, VC, private credit, real assets) for institutional asset owners. Directly comparable to Fairbourne's stated private-equity and private-credit advisory coverage and conflict-free positioning.

Broad incumbents
