CFT Capital

CFT Capital Partners operates as an alternative asset manager, primarily deploying co-investment capital. The firm strategically invests across various asset classes including private equity, growth equity, and real estate, aiming to provide value-added capital. Their approach involves seeking proprietary, direct, and aligned investment opportunities with a focus on flexible capital solutions.

Established in 2016, CFT Capital Partners emerged as the dedicated alternative asset management arm of the Cherng Family Trust. This trust belongs to Andrew and Peggy Cherng, the renowned founders of Panda Express/Panda Restaurant Group. The firm's inception was driven by the insight to leverage the flexible, long-term capital of a prominent family office for strategic co-investments.

The firm primarily serves innovative and established companies seeking capital, while also partnering with other family offices, financial sponsors, and institutional investors. CFT Capital Partners' vision centers on identifying and participating in differentiated investment opportunities, fostering collaborative relationships, and generating sustained value across its diverse portfolio for the long term.
