Salient Partners is a private equity firm based in Houston, Texas, with offices in New York City, San Francisco and Newport Beach. The firm's strategies include emerging markets,[1] real estate investment trusts (REITs), master limited partnership (MLPs) investments,[2] managed futures,[3] risk parity funds,[4] and liquid alternative investments.[5]

History

The firm was founded in 2002 by Andrew Linbeck, Haag Sherman, Jeremy Radcliffe and John Blaisdell.[6] In 2003, the Sanders Morris Harris Group (SMHG) secured a 50% stake in the firm, and Salient combined its assets with SMHG's Pinnacle Management & Trust Co.[7] SMHG sold its ownership interests back to Salient in 2008.[8] In 2015, Salient was the third largest Houston-area money management firm ranked by local assets under management at $21.5 billion.[9] That same year, the firm completed its acquisition of Forward Management LLC, reporting a resulting $27.6 billion in combined assets.[10]

In 2012, the firm launched the Salient Risk Parity Index, purportedly the first of its kind for the industry.[11]
