Background
Jarret Rutstein is a private equity investor, currently a Principal at A&M Capital Partners (the private-equity arm of Alvarez & Marsal). He began his career in the Healthcare Investment Banking group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch (analyst, roughly 2014–2016), then moved into private equity as an Associate at A&M Capital Partners, where he evaluated, executed, and managed control-oriented investments across multiple industries.
In April 2018 he joined Angeles Equity Partners, a Los Angeles–based private equity firm specializing in control investments and operational transformation of industrial businesses. He spent roughly four years there (2018–2022), rising to Vice President and focusing on "control-oriented investments across a wide range of industrial sub-sectors." During this period the firm publicly framed his hire as "a high caliber addition" expected to play an integral role in its growth.
In 2022 he rejoined A&M Capital Partners, where he is now a Principal continuing to focus on control-oriented private equity investments. (Some third-party databases still list his title as Vice President; the firm's own team page lists Principal.)
He holds a Master of Finance from the MIT Sloan School of Management and a BA in Political Economy from Tulane University.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Invests via control-oriented private equity, not seed/angel checks — i.e., majority acquisitions of established operating companies rather than early-stage venture bets.
- At Angeles Equity, focus was explicitly on industrial sub-sectors and operational transformation/value-creation in those businesses.
- At A&M Capital Partners, continues to pursue control investments across multiple industries, leveraging Alvarez & Marsal's operational/restructuring heritage.
- Sector experience spans industrials, business and facilities services, and healthcare-related services (reflecting his healthcare investment-banking start and the Xanitos deal).
- No publicly published personal "thesis" statement is available; his focus is best inferred from his firms' control-buyout strategies and his deal history.
Notable Investments
- Xanitos, Inc. — National provider of environmental/EVS services (hospital housekeeping, patient transport, and linen services) to hospitals and acute-care settings. Acquired by Angeles Equity Partners in June 2021 (Facilities Management sub-sector, in partnership with the founder); reported exit in 2025. Rutstein publicly promoted this acquisition while at Angeles Equity, indicating involvement.
- Broader Angeles Equity Partners industrial-services portfolio during his 2018–2022 tenure and A&M Capital Partners control investments thereafter — specific individual deal attributions beyond Xanitos are not publicly itemized for him by name.
