Charles Beaubien Krusen

Charles Beaubien Krusen is the founder, majority owner (>75% stake), and Chief Executive Officer of Krusen Capital Management, LLC, an SEC-registered investment adviser he established in January 2009. He has held the "Owner" designation on regulatory filings since November 2008, and the firm remains 100% employee-owned under his control. Krusen has also been associated with the Krusen Family Office since 1986, giving him a long track record managing private capital before institutionalizing it under the Krusen Capital brand.

Before founding Krusen Capital, Krusen spent his career across established financial-services institutions. Public professional records associate him with roles including account executive at Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, and vice-president-level positions at retail brokerage firms such as Dean Witter Reynolds and Paine Webber earlier in his career. He holds Series 63 and Series 65 registrations. (Detailed education history is not reliably documented in primary sources and is therefore omitted here.)

Today Krusen serves as Managing Member and General Partner of the LionHedge Platform Fund Limited Partnership, the firm's vehicle offering clients access to a curated selection of managers across asset classes. He is also the firm's Chief Compliance Officer, consistent with the lean structure of a founder-run RIA. The advisory business serves qualified purchasers, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, pension plans, trusts, and pooled investment vehicles, with roughly 50+ clients and average assets of about $1.2 million per client — a 100% high-net-worth book.

Krusen is a regular presence on the family-office and alternative-investment conference circuit, having spoken at events such as the Terrapinn Americas Family Office Forum (in its "Wealth Technology Showcase") and IMN alternative-investment programs.

• Runs a multi-asset alternatives program spanning "hedge funds, private equity, credit, real estate, infrastructure, venture, and co-investments" — seed/angel venture bets sit within this venture and co-investment sleeve rather than as a dedicated fund.
• Explicitly targets asymmetric reward-to-risk returns: the firm seeks "high reward to risk ratios" and backs managers "demonstrating consistent alpha generation."
• Heavy emphasis on manager due diligence and risk management — evaluating "changes in the opportunity set, historical drawdowns versus upside optionality, manager focus/style drift, and misalignment of interest."
• Operates through the LionHedge Platform, a curated access point to top-tier managers across asset classes, with Krusen as Managing Member/GP.
• Fees are highly negotiable (0–1% annually, or fixed arrangements), and account minimums (nominally $100,000) can be waived — indicating a relationship-driven, flexible approach to deploying capital.
