About
Sowell & Co. is a family investment office investing in private equity, oil & gas, and land development. The partners invest their own capital in each venture, rather than raising outside funds, and believe that such investment creates a longer term investment horizon that better aligns investors with its management team partners.
Sowell & Co.'s Private Equity Group invests its own capital to support growing companies, management buyouts, recapitalizations and corporate divestitures in both healthy and distressed situations. We focus on backing experienced managers by making $2 - $20 million investments in companies that typically have less than $10 million of EBITDA.
The Oil and Gas group of Sowell & Co. creates value through the prudent use of capital timed with Industry knowledge. Sowell & Co. invests both directly and indirectly in many facets of the Oil & Gas Industry.
Sowell & Co. Real Estate activities have included most product types since its inception in 1972. The experiences through those years have refined Sowell & Co.'s primary focus to development land. Current projects vary in uses among retail parcels, industrial sites, multifamily tracts and single-family land and lots.
