01 / Our story

Big-picture thinking.
A personal purpose.

The discipline behind the world’s largest portfolios should have a place in yours.

That belief brought Cole Gorman and TC Hargis together to create 76 South Partners. After years working side by side at the world’s largest institutional derivatives overlay manager, they saw an opportunity to bring that same depth of thinking to private investors.

Today, we combine institutional portfolio construction, alternative strategies and disciplined risk management with the focus of a boutique firm. The objective is simple: preserve capital and pursue durable, long-term growth.
