Working interests in conventional oil and gas wells.
Our President and CEO, Alan Girardot, is an oil and gas operator. Energy offerings are drilled and operated by our operating partner, founded by Alan in 2014.
32 joint ventures since 2015. 20 of 25 completed wells commercial.
Most of a drilling investment is deductible in the first year, against wages and business income.
Working interests can qualify as like-kind property, so gains can move in or out through a 1031 exchange.
Partners own an interest in producing wells and share in the revenue.
The joint venture process, start to finish.
Working interests can be held in a self-directed IRA. Our industry partner, Preferred Trust Company, serves as custodian and handles opening the account, moving funds from an existing IRA or 401(k), and holding the investment.
A film on our operating partner and the work behind each venture.
Labor, fuel, chemicals, mud, and other drilling costs with no salvage value. These run 65 to 80 percent of the cost of a well and are deductible in the year incurred.
Equipment such as casing, tubing, pumping units, and tanks. Depreciated over seven years.
A working interest in an oil and gas well is not a passive activity under the tax code, so deductions offset wages and business income.
15 percent of gross income from a producing property is tax free for independent producers.
| Intangible drilling costs, deducted in year one | |
| Tangible drilling costs | |
| First-year depreciation (7 years) | |
| Total first-year deductions | |
| Federal tax savings | |
| State tax savings | |
| After-tax cost of investment |
Estimate only. Production income also qualifies for the 15 percent depletion allowance.
The firm invests in residential, commercial, and industrial property in Texas and the surrounding region.
Partners invest alongside the firm in individual properties or pooled programs. Returns come from rental income during the hold and from appreciation at sale.
Single-family rental homes and multifamily property.
Retail, office, and mixed-use buildings with established tenants.
Warehouse, flex, and light industrial space.
Ground-up residential and commercial development, from land and entitlements through lease-up or sale.
Properties bought below replacement cost and improved to raise rents and occupancy.
Residential property is depreciated over 27.5 years and commercial property over 39 years, offsetting rental income.
Components such as fixtures, flooring, and site work can be depreciated over shorter lives, moving deductions into the early years.
Gains from a sale can be deferred by reinvesting in like-kind property.
Technology, precious metals, infrastructure, private credit, private companies, and more.
Alternative investments move on different drivers than stocks and bonds. The firm sources these opportunities through the principals' own networks, reviews each one before it is offered, and structures them as direct or co-investments for accredited investors.
How partner capital goes to work, depending on the asset and the deal.
Partners own the asset or a share of the company outright.
Partners invest alongside the firm and other investors in the same deal, on the same terms.
Partners provide secured loans and are paid interest, with the asset as collateral.
Capital is repaid from a share of a company's monthly revenue until a set return is reached.
Partners buy a share of future revenue from a mine, a patent, or a catalog of work.
The firm buys property or equipment from an operating company and leases it back for steady rent.
The firm develops an asset or business, such as a mining site or a data center, and holds it for income.
The firm buys an established business or asset, improves operations, and grows cash flow.
Partners buy existing interests in private funds or companies from holders who want to sell, often at a discount.
Structures such as Opportunity Zone funds and energy programs built around tax treatment.
Pooled programs that spread capital across several deals in one asset class.
