Asset Class: Professional Sports
Role: General Partner & Limited Partner
Acquired: 2008
Current Status: Limited Partner & Advisor
The Oakland Athletics are an American League franchise with a deep, nomadic history originating in Philadelphia (1901) and stopping in Kansas City before settling in Oakland from 1968-2024. Known for their distinct green-and-gold colors and the White Elephant mascot, the franchise has captured nine World Series titles. The Athletics identity is defined by two dominant eras: the early-70s dynasty led by Reggie Jackson, and the early 2000s Moneyball period, where GM Billy Beane used data-driven analytics to build competitive teams with low payrolls. The team is in the process of relocating to Las Vegas for the 2028 season.
