Wand has invested in 19 platform businesses in specialty financial services, 18 of which have been insurance enterprises. 18 of these 21 investments are now fully realised, and produced an aggregate IRR net to investors in excess of 20%.

Wand Partners (“Wand”) is a family office continuing the private equity co-investment practice of Bruce W. Schnitzer who founded Wand in 1987.

The principals of Wand co-invest personally with a trusted network of collaborators, focusing primarily on specialty financial services and hospitality real estate.

Wand is a disciplined, value-oriented investor that backs strong management teams with a hands-on approach. We support management teams in building sound, profitable, growth businesses to achieve attractive returns at exit values that represent traditionally justifiable multiples of cash flow and/or book value.
