Spring Mountain Capital is a private investment management firm, founded in 2001 by John L. (“Launny”) Steffens and Gregory P. Ho, that focuses on alternative asset investing and offers investors a wide range of strategies designed to produce attractive risk-adjusted returns.
SMC is organized into four investment groups: Growth Equity, Total Return, Private Capital, Social Impact, and Municipal Bonds. This combination provides the firm with expansive knowledge in each investment vertical, which improves investment decisions. We seek to take advantage of investment opportunities “in the gaps” where larger investors do not focus.
