Arctos is the only private investment firm approved to hold equity stakes across all five major North American professional leagues. With more than 25 portfolio franchises, it is the largest institutional owner of sports equity in the region.

The firm has already deployed ACM in high-profile transactions, including the sale of a controlling stake in the Tampa Bay Lightning. ACM has also worked with syndicate investors on capital raises for both minority and control ownership groups.

“Our goal is simple: be the first call,” said Doc O’Connor, Co-Founder and Co-Managing Partner of Arctos. “If you are an individual investor seeking direct sports franchise ownership exposure, Arctos Capital Markets offers an efficient path to minority or control ownership supported by our scale and reputation as a strategic partner to the leagues owners and other key stakeholders in the sports ecosystem.”

“Arctos Capital Markets is a natural extension of our mission to be the premier partner to professional sports franchise owners globally,” added Forrest Richmond, Director at Arctos.
