Investment Firms

Capital allocators: hedge funds, private equity, venture capital, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, and pure investment holding companies. Distinct from Financial Services (which covers operating financial businesses — banks, brokerages, exchanges, payment processors). Investment firms lobby on portfolio-company policy; financial-services firms lobby on their own regulation.
