Our People

The Team

Our team combines institutional finance discipline with deep experience in volatile, turbulent markets. We bring the rigor of credit underwriting to active trading—applying lessons from Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, and RBC to act decisively when markets misprice risk (dislocations) — the moments that create opportunity for disciplined investors. The same discipline that protected capital in institutional credit now governs how we size positions and cap losses every day, and our principals invest substantially all of their liquid net worth alongside clients.

Institutional experience across investment, operations, and technology

Jonathan Haas

Founder, CIO

Jonathan spent 12+ years underwriting billions of dollars in complex real estate credit and equity transactions at leading global institutions including Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, and RBC. He applies the same credit-underwriting mindset to Altius Capital's strategy — focusing on clear opportunities, a defined margin of safety, and risk management as the foundation of every investing decision. Jonathan is all-in: substantially all of his liquid net worth is invested alongside his partners. He passed the Series 3 National Futures Exam and is registered with the NFA (the federal futures-industry regulator) as a Commodity Pool Operator — the formal license required to manage a fund like this.
