Brightside Capital Partners LLC

Brightside Capital Partners LLC provides investment advisory services to institutional investors, primarily through pooled investment vehicles and separately managed accounts for sophisticated investors such as single- and multi-family offices. The firm focuses on venture capital, private equity, private credit, real estate, and infrastructure, and its fee terms are set forth in each Client’s Governing Documents.

As of December 31, 2025, Brightside reported approximately $472.8 million in regulatory assets under management, all managed on a non‑discretionary basis, and the firm states it will provide both non‑discretionary and discretionary services going forward as specified in Client agreements. Investment advice is provided at the fund or account level rather than tailored to individual investors, and the Brochure emphasizes the long‑term, illiquid nature of anticipated investments and related risks.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s recent launch in 2025 combined with a sizeable AUM figure and its primary focus on institutional or entity‑structured Clients rather than retail individuals, which can create different governance and operational arrangements than typical advisory practices. The Brochure also discloses that Brightside does not currently use FINRA‑regulated broker‑dealers for its Clients and does not engage in soft‑dollar arrangements, and it outlines an intention to rely on the audit exemption for custody if it later takes custody of Client assets.
