Our Timeline

  • AUM $187

    Veteran fixed income manager Bill Garvey and colleague Larry Rafferty launch Hilton Capital Management with its flagship strategy, Tactical Income (TI). The strategy was designed to appeal to the equity investor who wanted more protection and the fixed income investor who wanted a little more return.

    “It’s not as much [about] what you own, it’s how do you on a risk-adjusted basis protect the investments that you have, and stay away from the things that really aren’t going to give you some opportunity to make money…”

  • Total AUM $374M

    Craig O’Neill joins Hilton as CEO, focusing on building out the operational infrastructure to complement Garvey’s investment expertise.

    “What makes Hilton so compelling as a company is that we’re able to balance entrepreneurship with conservatism.”
