What Our Clients and Investors are Saying:

Greg Lippmann – Founder, LibreMax Capital

I have worked with Ken Margolis (one of the best bosses I ever had) and Richard Luftig for decades and hold them in the highest possible regard. Castle Placement’s deal flow aligns perfectly with LibreMax’s investment philosophy – opportunistic, contrarian, special situations, etc.

We had occasion to engage Castle Placement for equity and debt placement on several transactions from 2016-2018. Their elegant, market based approach to sourcing capital helped take our business model and turn it into a reality. In each case, the team at Castle Placement was able to bring several qualified offers to ensure that we were receiving truly competitive economics.

Peter McMillan – Co-Founder, Pacific Oak Companies

I have worked with Richard and Ken since 1995 when I was the CIO of SunAmerica and they were at CSFB, and closed many, many successful transactions with them, including at Castle Placement. They have always done a great job getting great execution for me, while conducting themselves in a professional manner with honesty and integrity and the highest ethical standards.

Robert Bevis – CEO, LIVES Training Institute

We are currently doing a capital raise with Castle for our law enforcement training facility and have executed a term sheet with one of their investors. This is a very specialized project and we were lucky that we met Castle. Their deep investor relationships were critical for us to find the perfect financial partner. I have already recommended Castle to several friends that are raising capital

Jeffrey Collé – Developer, Estates by Jeffrey Collé

I’ve built homes in the Hamptons for Billy Joel, Beyoncé, Alec Baldwin, Donna Karan, Wall Street moguls, and countless other clients. They all required uncompromising quality and precision, and I, in turn, demanded the same thing from the professionals that I hired - and Castle delivered. From engagement through closing the Castle team (from the top on down) were incredibly responsive and professional.

Rob Kramer – Managing Member, Offroad Capital Partners

OffRoad’s strategy is just that, non-traditional investments. Castle does a great job showing us transactions that fit our risk/yield profile. I have know Richard since college (I won’t specify just how many years that entails) and have been extremely impressed with his career. We think Castle’s platform and technology are cutting edge and a great benefit for private equity investors.

Rajesh Gandhi – Chairman, Choron Group

The financing transaction that we closed with Castle Placement has helped us expand our business operations. Unfortunately, the diamond industry is misunderstood and several major banks are reducing their presence. As a leading diamond company, having the required capital to grow our business is crucial. Castle was able to find the perfect financial partner for us and their team did a terrific job from engagement through closing.
