Firm Profile

OnyxPoint is a rapidly growing asset manager with a primary focus on the energy, commodities, renewables and materials sectors. Our funds invest across multiple asset classes in public and private markets employing an event-driven and special situation overlay expressed across equity and credit. We employ an all-weather approach to identifying the highest risk-adjusted return opportunities across rising and falling markets.

OnyxPoint is known for finding opportunities that others often miss.
