Investcorp’s general partner capital solutions business is
re-branding as Bisonti Partners but will continue to operate as part of the $64 billion alternatives manager, according to a Wednesday press release.

The $2.4 billion platform, previously called the Strategic
Capital Group, is seeking a “distinctive identity” and more autonomy as it looks to expand its product lineup.

Bisonti, which is Italian for “bison,” symbolizes how the team would like to be seen in the market, said Anthony Maniscalco, a managing partner and head of the business since its 2019 inception.

“Bison are fierce, they’re relentless, they’re loyal, they are strong and importantly, they travel in packs,” he said. “We felt like the name really embodied that, and the imagery we felt was very close to how we perceive ourselves and [how] we ultimately want to be perceived in the market.”

The Bisonti rebrand comes after the team closed its second fund at $1.25 billion in March. The fund targets firms with between $1 billion and $10 billion in assets. Bisonti targets “top-performing middle-market asset managers on the cusp of significant growth,” Manis-calco said in a statement. Its current portfolio includes Banner Ridge Partners, Monomoy Capital Partners, Marblegate Asset Management, and Corsair Capital, among others, according to its website. The firm also has strategic partnerships with Finback Investment Partners and Xponance, according to its website.

In 2019, Bisonti started out as a three-person team, and now has over 20. The rebrand brings increased autonomy, including the ability to hire even more staff and diversify into other GP solutions strategies, including preferred financings involving debt or equity, and seed, warehouse or anchor capital, Maniscalco added. Bisonti wants to build out its capital formation capacity into new geographies and investor types, he added.

“This was really an opportunity for us to gain more independence in the marketplace, [and] more operating time to build the business,” he said.

In recent years, the GP solutions asset class has seen many new entrants but less capital raised, with several established players dominating the space. Earlier this year, KKR en-tered the asset class through its acquisition of Arctos, which closed its own GP stakes fund in July at $6.2 billion.
