Thesis
Zilkha Investments, L.P. is an investment firm founded in 2006 and headquartered in New York, NY. It operates as both a fund management entity and a single-family office for the Selim Zilkha family, managing capital from the $1 billion sale of Zilkha Energy Company in 1998. The firm's investment strategy is diverse, focusing on SMID (Small and Mid-Cap) publicly traded US companies for high-net-worth clients, employing a constructive activist approach. Additionally, it actively invests in venture capital opportunities, particularly through Zilkha Venture Partners (established 1999), which specializes in medical device and communications venture capital. The family office aspect has a significant tilt towards the energy sector, leveraging the family's operational expertise and emphasizing direct engagement with management teams. While primarily focused on the United States, energy investments may have European offtake exposure. The firm has less than $150 million in AUM and operates three private funds. The minimum investment commitment is $1,000,000.
