Investment Strategy
Our fund strategy is to construct a diversified portfolio of assets that provide value through steady, predictable cash flows, and longer-term appreciation.
Our funds invest across diverse, uncorrelated assets and are designed first to preserve capital, then to produce consistent cash flows, with real assets that help protect against inflation over time.
We target high-quality private investments that larger institutional investors generally pass over because of their size. That is where disciplined diligence creates an edge.
Recent investments span office, hotel, manufactured housing, storage, industrial and residential real estate as well as cash-flowing operating companies.

Founding Partner & Chief Executive Officer
Michael is the founding partner of OZE Capital. Michael founded the firm in 2018 and launched its first fund in 2019 to create a structure to maximize value for his investors and deal partners. Through OZE’s committed capital model, Michael can leverage more certainty and capital to achieve better terms, deal flow, and ultimately stronger returns from GPs.
Prior to OZE, Michael spent 24 years in institutional bond trading, specifically agency mortgage-backed securities. He spent 10 years at Prudential Securities and 14 years at Bank of America. Michael made his career by focusing on less traveled real estate-collateralized products that offered the best relative value. Michael’s trading strengths were understanding risk and identifying value where others did not. During his tenure at Bank of America, Michael’s business was responsible for over $2 billion in revenue, with a peak of $700 million in a single year.
After leaving Wall Street in 2015, he changed his focus to investing his personal wealth. His investment thesis revolved around the tenets he developed on Wall Street: a fundamental focus on risk and cash flow, with a particular emphasis on private income-producing assets.
Michael graduated from the Honors Program at Rutgers College with a B.A. in Economics. He also was a Henry Rutgers Scholar and a Rhodes Scholar Finalist. Michael played on the men’s soccer team at Rutgers that reached the NCAA Final Four and finals in 1989 and 1990.
