Adagio, LLC was founded as a private investment company in 2005 by Managing Director Ben Summers. Adagio's initial focus was investing in the New Urban communities along the Florida Gulf Coast and providing consulting services to the institutional investment community regarding real estate and energy matters. These activities uncovered new opportunities in residential real estate markets leading Adagio to develop its unique asset-based lending program and residential arbitrage strategy. Adagio now engages in a full complement of financial services providing third-party (quantitative) risk analytics, institutional-grade fund management, and boutique investment banking services to the alternatives space.
