Private equity & alternative investments with David Piho of Gorelick Brothers Capital

Published: Sun, 09/05/21

Are you an executive candidate for private equity and alternative investments?

It's what we talk about with our guest, David Piho, Senior Vice President of Gorelick Brothers Capital. We explore how David grew four businesses over 17 years with a focus on the currently hot single-family rental marketplace as an institutional investor and how his baseball career at MIT influenced his success.

Gorelick Brothers Capital, a private equity company in Charlotte, North Carolina, specializes in capital preservation and opportunistic growth. As Senior VP, David excels at building businesses and figuring out how complex investment strategies work and how to successfully fit them together for success. His industry expertise is with portfolio management, asset management, and data analytics for fund of funds, and SFR (single family rental) businesses.

David currently directs and manages process policy and performance for the entire business and serves as a trusted advisor for joint venture partners and market facing business decisions.

He leads the asset lifestyle from acquisition to exit, including portfolio and asset management, construction, and property management, and serves as the firm's representative with investors, lenders, partners, and the SFR (single family rental) industry.

He's deeply networked across the industry and has been repeatedly recognized for outstanding performance from hedge fund industry publications, such as Thomson Reuters Hedgeworld, Alternative Investment Magazine, HFM, and Hedge Funds Review and many more.

According to Dave:

“…I think the definition of value is changing a little bit because I think you need scale in order to maintain or enhance the value that you have today. I think value is less in the assets and more in the operations and in making those operations perform, or rather having the operations make the assets perform better. Scaling allows you to do that and that's what our focus is, as we get new assets. It's really optimizing, maximizing, and making more efficient and effective processes and operations.”

Maddison and I spent a few days last week in Wolfville, Nova Scotia (EASTERN CANADA), for our bi-annual work retreat. Wolfville is a small Canadian town in the Annapolis Valley and it’s a popular spot for tourists that visit our province due its views of Cape Blomidon, the Bay of Fundy, as well as its rich wine country. In addition, the highest tides in the world can be found here in the Bay of Fundy, which separates New Brunswick from Nova Scotia with a tidal range of 50 feet. Hurricane Ida kept us company as we worked from our hotel. Luckily for us, Ida only brought us rain.

I hope you and your family have a great week ahead!

Respectfully,

Maureen Farmer
