Benson Capital Partners

About

Benson Capital Partners (“BCP”) is a New Orleans-based, for-profit entity founded in 2019 by Gayle M. Benson, Owner of the New Orleans Saints NFL franchise and Governor of the New Orleans Pelicans NBA franchise. In 2020, the firm launched its inaugural fund, Benson Capital Fund I, LP to make venture capital investments in the Southeast. For its second fund, BCP has launched Benson Capital Real Estate I, LP (the “Fund”) to execute real estate investments in the same Southeastern region. In aggregate, the firm manages over $100 million across its two funds.

BCP focuses its investments in the Southeastern United States, a geography lagging in institutional investment capital. However, despite few inflows of investment dollars, the region demonstrates compelling demographic and growth characteristics. BCP also benefits from the Benson organization’s unique deal access in the Southeast that has been forged from decades of business relationships across multiple industries.

Above all else, we prioritize our values, and we seek out partners whose business philosophies align with ours. We invest with the long term in mind, and our hope is to build a lasting legacy. In all we do, we strive to redefine how we view wealth: it is so much more than obtaining pure financial returns. Instead, we see it as a venue for us to enhance our relationships, society, and planet for future generations. RGI’s approach is based on a framework we call 4D Wealth. The four dimensions of wealth are: Financial Discernment – Our investments are competitive, and we take into close consideration risk-adjusted financial returns. Relational Depth – We believe that investing can deepen connections between people through values-driven, thoughtful interactions. Social Impact – We stand firmly behind investments that produce tangible benefits in the society and in the planet. Innovative Solutions – We approach challenges in investing with creative problem solving to achieve a win-win solution for all parties involved. Our intention is to optimize these four aspects of wealth. We believe that this will increase financial returns and lead to sustainable projects. Our goal is to build thriving investments to fruition that demonstrate strength in each category of our 4D Wealth.
