Strategic allocation, portfolio construction, manager selection and monitoring.
A new kind of investment advisory firm.
Obsidia Partners combines investment expertise and technology to make sense of data, preserve the lessons of experience and put them to work in every decision.
Our conviction
Private Markets have become a structural part of investment portfolios. Running them requires expertise, data and resources that only large institutions have been able to build in-house.
Mid-sized LPs should not have to replicate that infrastructure. They need a partner who brings it, and who works as an extension of their team.
Knowledge that compounds over time strengthens the ability to decide.
We work exclusively on the investor's side. We do not raise capital for managers: our analysis answers to our clients alone.
Team
LP and GP experience, backed by an engineering team.

Obsidian is a naturally dark volcanic stone.
It expresses our conviction about the opacity of private markets. Once cut, it reveals its value.
