ACI Capital was originally founded as the private equity and alternative investment vehicle for a New York-based high net worth family. Since beginning its investment activities in the 1950s, ACI Capital and its affiliates have invested over half a billion dollars in direct private equity, private equity funds, real estate and other investment partnerships. In 1995, ACI Capital transitioned from family-office investing activities into its current form, a third-party money management firm focused on middle-market private equity investing.
