About
A family office that advises as principals, and invests as advisors
Orofante is a team of operators and dealmakers spanning energy, real estate, and circular materials — combining a boutique advisory practice with hands-on principal investing.
Who we are
Orofante is a family-office investment group. We grew from a simple conviction: that the best capital is patient, informed, and willing to roll up its sleeves.
Over time we built two complementary sides to the house. On one, a boutique advisory practice that helps businesses grow through mergers and acquisitions, public listings, and access to financing — work grounded in deep energy and real-estate expertise. On the other, a principal portfolio in which we deploy our own balance sheet: developing and operating chemical-recycling facilities for plastic circularity in South East Asia, trading recycled materials, and holding a forward-looking equity book.
The two reinforce each other. Advising as principals keeps us honest; investing as advisors keeps us sharp. Both are held to the same standard — the standard of capital we would deploy ourselves.
How we operate
Deep sector expertise
We operate in markets we know first-hand — energy, real estate, and circular materials — not from the outside in.
Aligned by design
We invest our own capital alongside the strategies we pursue, so our interests match our partners' and clients'.
A long-term view
As a family office, we are not bound by fund cycles — we build and hold for the long run.
Discretion
We work quietly and protect the confidence of the partners and clients we serve.
Senior people on every mandate
