Lone Star Funds

About The Fund

Lone Star Funds is a premier private equity firm advising funds that engage in the acquisition of financial assets across the globe. With its establishment in 1995, the firm now commands 25 funds with aggregate capital commitments of approximately $95 billion. Their investment spectrum encompasses real estate, corporate equity, credit, and other financial instruments. They prioritize investments in business products and services, consumer products and services, financial services, and information technology sectors. Lone Star's investment strategy thrives on a robust foundation—leveraging deep-rooted relationships to uncover opportunities, emphasizing a meticulous bottom-up asset-based underwriting process, maintaining a streamlined approval protocol, focusing on astute asset management strategy, and regularly assessing exit strategies. Their global origination expertise, fortified by a 29-year presence across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, positions them favorably for sizable transactions where prospective buyers are limited due to capital intensity. Managing business plans for Lone Star's investments is Hudson Advisors, an integrated asset management entity in existence since 1995, which supports Lone Star's investment activities with advisory, administrative, and support services. When exploring investment avenues, Lone Star explores a wide spectrum of markets and industries, employing equity and debt to invest in value-oriented assets, real estate and related entities, control stakes in finance-focused and other operational companies, and diverse securitized products. Their partnerships are closed-end, private equity limited partnerships whose limited partners include a mix of corporate and public pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, university endowments, foundations, funds of funds, and high-net-worth individuals. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, they boast a global presence with investment professionals stationed in most of their 11 offices across 10 countries.
