Our Businesses | Evolution Financial Group

EVO Workers Evolution Financial Group and our affiliate companies span a wide range of financial services and activities. The firm was originally founded in 2002 as an alternative investment manager, and has since developed into a diverse set of business lines dedicated to the goal of delivering superior risk-adjusted returns for our partners and our firm’s long-term growth. Evolution invests heavily in technology, operations, and professional training underpinning these business units. This ongoing commitment to innovation and development has been key to our management’s successful performance through volatile markets and varied economic environments.

Family Office Investment Activities: Since inception in 2002, Evolution’s investment teams have achieved meaningful risk-adjusted returns by focusing on market niches and strategies where we enjoy a competitive edge based upon the experience and knowledge of portfolio managers, state-of-the-art execution capabilities, and structuring expertise. Our managers invest the firm’s principal and key employee assets within a risk management framework that subjects portfolios to rigorous discipline and oversight throughout the investment cycle. Evolution’s proprietary systems produce real-time risk and profit attribution, allowing managers to dynamically adjust positions and strategies to take advantage of opportunities and to protect capital in volatile markets.

Private Equity and Venture Capital: Evolution Financial Group engages in many private equity and venture capital activities which range from investing in early stage start-ups to accessing private equity positions in publicly listed corporations. In addition to acting as a source of capital, we provide strategic guidance to early stage companies.
