The firm sources and capitalizes each deal, designs and constructs the associated real estate, then markets and sells every project.

Asymmetric Opportunities
The firm pursues downside-protected opportunities, ensuring appropriate investor compensation for a project’s risk level.
Skin in Every Game
Every employee working on a deal is awarded a portion of the sponsor’s carried interest to ensure project goals are fundamentally aligned.
Superior Team & Performance
Fortius Capital aims to make the wind blow, not simply predict its direction. To understand the specific local price drivers and find those underpriced opportunities, you need a team on the ground who lives and works where they invest. We are that team.
Mountain markets bear limited fruit to an exclusive pool of investors, operators and owners. The firm provides untethered access to rural and high-value resort market investment opportunities with risk aversion built into every project and deal stage.

Investing is Complex
As Sponsor, we systematically simplify our decision-making processes. Here's a list of the firm's guiding investment principles that we check every deal against, twice:
A Note from Fortius' Founder
Delivering significant returns for investors through the identification of underpriced opportunities will continue to remain our focus. Like many active members, you may also wish to bet on the jockey, not the horse, or overall sector performance.
For 15+ years I have obtained immense value for my family and community through the procurement of real estate assets. Now, we aim to reproduce results at scale for global investors considering investment opportunities in mountain markets.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
But, past successes do build a level of confidence in future performance expectations.
