UK: Jason Kow, the founder of private investment firm Queensgate, has gained control of the company after buying it from wealth manager AlTi Tiedemann.
AlTi Tiedemann inherited an interest in Queensgate in January 2023 via the merger between Tiedemann Group and Alvarium Investments. Alviarum strategically backed Queensgate.
Kow’s purchase of Queensgate follows a restructuring of the firm’s US hospitality portfolio, in partnership with its lending group, which comprises six hotels and 1,176 keys across New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, and Washington DC.
Concurrently, Kow has established Halston Street, a Dubai-headquartered family office to oversee principal investments and strategic initiatives globally.
“With the recapitalisation of our platform and the successful execution of several significant exits, Queensgate is well positioned to deploy both new and recycled capital into what we believe is an increasingly attractive phase of the cycle,” said Kow. “Our focus remains on income-producing assets and special situations where complexity, creativity and conviction can generate differentiated outcomes across Europe, the United States and the GCC.”
Today, Queensgate advises on approximately €3 billion of cash and assets, and has executed transactions exceeding $6 billion across 14 countries.
In 2025, the firm sold Generator’s European operations to Brookfield Asset Management for approximately €800 million. The portfolio comprised 15 properties representing 2,749 keys and approximately 9,000 beds.
