Founded in 2009, LongWater is an alternative asset management firm with approximately $1 billion in assets under management, focused exclusively on the lower middle market. With offices in Fargo, Dallas, and St. Louis, the firm invests through two complementary platforms: LongWater Capital Solutions and LongWater Private Equity.

LongWater Capital Solutions invests across the capital structure through direct private credit, minority equity, and primary limited partnership commitments to lower middle market private equity funds. LongWater Private Equity makes control investments in industrial businesses, partnering with business owners and management teams to support strategic growth and long-term value creation.

Across both platforms, LongWater combines institutional investment discipline with a relationship-driven approach grounded in alignment, transparency, and long-term partnership.
