WILLIAM VALLADOLID'S WEBSITE
A private investment consultant working to provide a better experience.
Welcome
I have spent the last 20 years of my career providing services as a financial advisor, corporate cash manager, and investment banker. I began my financial career in 1997 at Bear Stearns Equity Division in San Francisco. During my career, I worked in San Francisco, New York, and London.
Who I AM
William Valladolid
I work with a family office and Fund Manager / Merchant Banker / Investment Banker that specializes in: vetting, structuring, valuing, and negotiating investments, including acquisitions on its’ own behalf and that of several prominent wealthy families. I currently assist in advising families with a combined net worth in excess of $3 BN.
The original family office was founded and incorporated in 1987, and reincorporated in Delaware in November 2004. Today, it is a boutique family office with a Fund Manager and Merchant Banker that is focused on middle market growth companies.
With over twenty years of experience, I have personally contributed in the pioneering of sustainability and impact investing. My service approach is based on two important tenets. First, adding sustainable performance, and second, sustainable works. Building on these tenets, I work to buy companies that can profit from products, policies, and practices that encourage solutions to major problems facing the world though innovation, reduced costs, and increased efficiencies. My investment decisions represent judgements about the future and, in this sense, I see myself as an agent for my clients' aspirations.
My investment process begins with the creation of a core global equity portfolio through a “fundamental bottom up” process. Using a globally-driven process with broad representation criteria allows us to take into account critical macro and microeconomic forces that affect all companies. However, what sets me apart is that I focus my assessment on the materiality of the sustainability issues associated with an individual company’s business model and the intrinsic risks that arise from that business model.
As an investor who places a high value on long-term returns, I believe that ownership brings with it responsibilities and I seek to represent clients who want to be engaged owners. Thus, I advocate for accountability and transparency in corporate operations and decision making. Furthermore, I deploy investors’ capital to support progressive principles of corporate governance. Given this goal of impactful and proactive ownership, my assessment of companies considers governance, products & marketing, workplace, environmental, stewardship, community & human rights.
As mentioned, I began my financial career in 1997, at Bear Stearns Equity Division in San Francisco. At Bear Stearns, I helped manage a portfolio of $1 BN. My clients were some of Silicon Valley’s largest technology companies. In 2000, I transferred to CIBC Oppenheimer and was with Merrill Lynch from 2010 to 2015. During my career I worked in San Francisco, New York, and London. In 2015, I was recruited to Morgan Stanley. I was instrumental in sourcing investment banking deals for the investment banking division of Morgan Stanley.
Currently, my team consists of senior exports with adequate mix of technology, valuation, M&A, managerial and turnaround experience, and in-depth cultural understanding of entrepreneurs. We have provided and performed investment management restructuring and recapitalization services in the past, to both middle market financial service providers and companies.
Family and friendships are very important to me. My family and I live in the community of Carmel Del Mar. I enjoy time with my family, especially my kids. When spare time presents itself, I like running, surfing, and training.
