Authentic Capital Group

What Authentic Capital Group does

Authentic Capital Group is a privately-held real estate operator and investment manager founded in 2021 and headquartered in Malibu, California. The firm executes two primary investment strategies: an Opportunistic Strategy focused on acquiring, repositioning, leasing-up, and developing undervalued and underperforming properties in high-growth markets, and a Core-Plus Strategy focused on acquiring high-quality, cash-flowing assets in markets with strong fundamentals. Its current property portfolio spans multifamily (The Clarkson at Centennial Hills, Elysian at Post, The Tommy at Post in Las Vegas), build-to-rent (Elkhorn Pointe at Heartland in North Las Vegas, Residences at Bridgestone in Conyers, GA), and industrial/advanced manufacturing (Metropolis MetCenter in Austin, 9999 Olson Drive in San Diego), with stated operations across ten US states.

The firm is led by Managing Partner Jason Ghilarducci, whose background includes The Carlyle Group's real estate acquisitions team and Goldman Sachs, and a senior team with prior experience at American Homes 4 Rent, PGIM Real Estate, Rexford Industrial, AEW, and JEM Holdings. The firm cites off-market deal sourcing and disciplined investment oversight as core differentiators. In May 2025, Authentic Capital entered a joint venture with Center Capital Partners to acquire Southern California industrial properties and co-invested with Center Capital and TPG Angelo Gordon on a $41.5 million Chatsworth industrial acquisition, signaling deepening institutional capital relationships.

The firm generates revenue through real estate investment management services, earning management fees on assets under management across opportunistic and core-plus vehicles, though specific pricing, AUM, and revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. The target customer base is institutional investors, family offices, and high net worth individuals, with distribution conducted through direct relationship-based outreach by the investment team. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no app, and no public disclosures on portfolio scale metrics (the website displays placeholder zeros for net rentable square feet, residential units, and properties).
