Our Firm

Established in 2007 as a boutique alternative asset investment firm, TrueBridge Capital Partners was formed to provide investors with differentiated value, access, and insight through alternative investment strategies that are unique and difficult to replicate.

TrueBridge was founded by Edwin Poston and Mel Williams, who bring over twenty-five years of experience in the private equity industry as successful investors, entrepreneurs, and transaction advisors. With a targeted focus on delivering high real rates of return, TrueBridge has leveraged the principals' extensive investment, operational, and portfolio management experience to build high performing portfolios of investment managers. TrueBridge currently manages over $700 million in assets across its funds-of-funds.

Insight

TrueBridge maintains an unfair research advantage in the alternative asset classes as a result of the experience of its investment team and the relationships forged with industry leaders and strategic partners. This rich depth of industry knowledge has allowed TrueBridge to establish itself as a niche expert with a targeted focus on alternative asset classes, and provides a competitive advantage when researching potential investments.

Due to TrueBridge's focus on the private capital markets, the team is firmly committed to its success within those markets. And, unlike other investors who manage capital across multiple asset classes and can allocate away from the private markets when they so choose, TrueBridge Capital's success remains firmly rooted in its long-term commitment to alternative assets and the long-term success of its portfolio managers.

Access

TrueBridge believes, and academic research supports, the principle that well established, top-tier investment managers who have performed well in the past have a much higher probability of outperforming in the future.

By building strategic partnerships, networks, and professional relationships, TrueBridge has achieved access to those investment managers with track records that have well exceeded top-quartile industry averages over long periods of time.

Partnership

TrueBridge has established itself as a preferred general partner due to the experience of its investment team, its patience and insight in investing limited partner capital, and its emphasis on serving as a trusted fiduciary responsible for that capital. The professionals on the investment team have collectively evaluated over 2,000 managers and committed over $2.5 billion across various strategies throughout their careers in the private markets. Through this process, they have built and managed some of the most successful private capital portfolios in the institutional investing universe. TrueBridge prides itself on being a resource and niche specialist for its partners and strategic networks.

As a preferred limited partner, TrueBridge sustains a long-term commitment to private equity with the goal of establishing itself as a lasting source of capital for its investment managers. Given the investment team's experience and commitment to the private markets, as well as the enduring personal attention of its principals, TrueBridge conveys a level of sophistication and investment acumen integral to the development and benefit of a long-term partnership. In addition, TrueBridge continues to build relationships with emerging managers in order to appreciate the full breadth of investment possibilities within the alternative asset universe, now and in the future.
