Managing Partner of US Capital Global, Charles Towle, is interviewed for the September issue of law firm Geraci’s Originate Report.

Q: What sets US Capital Global apart from other asset management companies?
Charles: Our values-based culture and our long-term approach to the business. We believe in doing well by doing good, which means engaging with profitable economic opportunities that also deliver positive social results. Our clients and investors also enjoy greater stability, as our aim is not only to serve them today, but for the next hundred years! So we leverage innovative technologies and the latest regulations to make sure we stay ahead and continue providing our clients with leading products and services.

Q: How has US Capital been able to stay in business for so many years?
Charles: I would say it is a combination of being dynamic and disciplined. Our creative approach has allowed us to continuously adapt to and engage with the changing environment of the finance sector. But we remain true to our values of doing right by our stakeholders and clients, and that keeps us anchored in grounding principles and best practice. Our success is really built on the tried and true, like staying close to the deal, paying attention to details, and having a deep knowledge of our clients and putting their interests at the center of everything we do. We don’t take shortcuts or make expedient choices based on short-term thinking, because we are serious about the long-term success and prosperity of our clients as well as our own business. And that’s why we’ve been doing so well for over twenty years, and that’s how we’ll continue doing well for decades to come!

Q: What are some of the biggest challenges the sector faces?
Charles: We are seeing new players and technologies disrupting traditional finance, although that’s not entirely a bad thing. The uncertain market conditions caused by all of that might not be enjoyable, but we can view them as growing pains as the sector undergoes some powerful changes. I think the key to successfully meeting these challenges is to see this as an opportunity for development at an industry level, and to draw on both past experiences and present optimism to push the sector into the next stage of evolution. It’s easy for us to view it this way at US Capital Global, as our multi-generational team lets us combine years of expertise with a fresh, new way of looking at things.

Q: Who or what has been your greatest influence in business and why?
Charles: Two aspects of my life experience have really led me to this point. The first has been my encounters with great teachers and mentors who have shown me the wisdom of conducting life and business from a place of principles. Living life by certain values really enriches your experience of the world, and I like to think it helps to create the kind of growth mindset that makes me good at my job – wealth creation. I also admire banking dynasties such as the Morgans and Marcus Goldman’s family, and the investing philosophies of Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger, as all of them embody a long-term, values-based way of looking at investing and building a legacy company.

Q: What is one piece of advice you have learned and carried with you throughout your life?
Charles: That people and relationships are the most important thing in life and business. If you pay attention, listen carefully and respond responsibly, magic happens, and good things are achievable.
