Berkshire Investment Group is a permanent-capital investment holding company acquiring minority, governance-oriented stakes in institutional private credit and infrastructure platforms across developed markets. We align patient capital with durable asset-management franchises, rejecting short-term, exit-driven outcomes.
Capitalized with $500 million USD of permanent equity, BIG operates unlevered with no fund lives, capital recycling requirements, or exit deadlines. This structure enables long-term franchise value underwriting based on recurring cash generation and governance quality.

Why Top-Tier GPs Partner With BIG
Elite GPs don't struggle to raise capital—they struggle with LP fragmentation, misaligned time horizons, and capital that disappears during downturns. BIG addresses these issues by providing stable, non-disruptive capital that grows with the platform.
1
Permanent Aligned Capital
No forced deployment windows, exit pressure, or style drift demands. BIG behaves as cornerstone partner, not transactional counterparty.
2
Solving Real Friction
Reduces LP fragmentation, repetitive re-underwriting, and shallow relationships while improving franchise stability.
3
Governance as Protection
Alignment without interference—no micro-management of portfolio construction or bespoke veto rights impeding execution.
4
Expanding Optionality
Support for fund anchoring, GP commitment financing, co-investments, continuation vehicles, and bespoke long-dated structures.
5
Clean Economics
No fee discounts, preferential carry grabs, or re-trades. Returns driven by duration and franchise quality, not extraction.
6
Built for Cycles
Structured to endure rate shocks, liquidity freezes, and institutional retrenchment. We don't withdraw when markets turn.
The Capital Partner GPs Would Design Themselves
GPs do not resist BIG because we don't compete with them, constrain them, second-guess them, destabilize their LP base, disappear in downturns, or extract value at their expense.
BIG operates as the capital partner most GPs would design themselves—providing permanent capital, institutional governance, access to aligned LPs, and optionality without obligation. Partnership continues because it remains mutually beneficial, not because of structural coercion.
Credible to Best LPs
Trusted by sovereigns, endowments, and pensions while remaining non-threatening to existing relationships
Discretion as Principle
We don't market off GP brands, politicize positions, or disrupt LP dynamics
Optionality Without Lock-In
No obligation to allocate future funds or expand strategies mechanically
