Capital is a tool. Strategy is the craft.
We exist to provide the framework, relationships, and execution that institutional capital demands.
The team behind Proteus
Christophe El-Hage
Founding Partner
Former Blackstone capital markets professional who gained unparalleled insight into over 50 institutional investment strategies and the full capital formation lifecycle, before pivoting to principal investing where he has executed over $2 billion in co-investments and direct transactions at leading alternative asset managers. He founded The Proteus Group to deliver institutional-caliber investment advisory to family offices and emerging managers historically underserved by traditional platforms.
Ben Levinson
Partner, Real Assets
University of Oxford-educated investment professional and specialist in opportunistic and value-add real estate, with over £1 billion in cross-border transactions executed for elite institutional investors including Cerberus Capital Management, Henderson Park, and Barings. A hands-on operator and dealmaker across the full capital stack, from distressed acquisitions to complex repositioning strategies across hospitality, residential, logistics, and alternative sectors.
We operate differently.
Traditional advisory optimizes for assets under management, not outcomes. We built Proteus to align incentives with our clients and bring institutional rigor to every engagement.
Institutional DNA
Methodologies forged at Blackstone, Cerberus, Barings, DigitalBridge, and Henderson Park. We bring that rigor to every engagement.
Aligned Incentives
We do not gather assets. We do not sell products. Our compensation is tied directly to outcomes. When you win, we win.
Global Reach
Presence across London, Dubai, and Lagos. We understand how capital moves across borders and how to position our clients to benefit.
Selective Focus
We deliberately limit engagements. Depth over breadth. Every client receives the attention required to execute at the highest level.
"The goal is not to beat the market. The goal is to build wealth that compounds across generations."
