Capital formation executives are the scarcest hires in private real assets — and the most misrepresented on paper. We verify what matters: capital actually raised, channel mix, active selling agreements, and re-up rates, not title inflation.
Gratus runs dedicated searches for capital formation and equity IR leaders across the retail and wealth channels — IBD, RIA, family office, and institutional. Because we also place the fund controllers and IR teams behind these platforms, we can test a raiser’s claims against how capital formation actually works: structure by structure (Reg D, DST, QOZ, non-traded REIT, interval), agreement by agreement. Clients use us when the cost of a mis-hire is a fund that doesn’t close.
Benchmark this market with the comp tool or the 2026 salary guide before you calibrate the offer.
Every profile here is a vetted, anonymized executive we have interviewed and referenced ourselves. Identities stay confidential — introductions happen through a conversation with our team, on the candidate's terms.
"We don't sell resumes. Every introduction starts with a conversation about your search."
