MSD
MSD Capital is a New York-based private investment firm founded in 1998 to manage the personal investments and assets of Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies. Over the past 25-plus years, MSD has grown from a family investment office into a sophisticated multi-asset alternative investment firm with approximately $30 billion in assets under management. MSD invests across a broad range of asset classes including private equity, credit, real estate, public equities, and risk arbitrage, employing a fundamental, value-oriented investment approach across each strategy.
MSD's investment capabilities span multiple strategies including MSD Opportunities — a public equity fund focused on special situations and event-driven investing — private equity and private credit investments, real estate equity and debt, and absolute return strategies. The firm is also involved in co-investments alongside private equity sponsors and invests directly in private companies and assets across multiple sectors. MSD's deep fundamental research capabilities, combined with its access to Dell Technologies' industry insights and the strategic network that comes with its founder's business relationships, provide unique informational advantages across the technology, healthcare, and financial sectors.
MSD Capital has evolved from a single-family office into a recognized name in the multi-family office and institutional alternatives space, with a reputation for rigorous investment analysis and consistent performance across its diverse strategy set. The firm's alignment with Michael Dell's personal investment interests ensures a high-conviction, long-term approach to capital deployment that is uncommon among investment managers operating with third-party capital. MSD's thoughtful, opportunistic approach to investing across public and private markets — combined with its scale and institutional infrastructure — positions it as a distinctive and respected player in the global alternative investment landscape.
