Overview
Willett Advisors manages the personal and philanthropic assets of Michael Bloomberg, including the capital that funds Bloomberg Philanthropies. It invests across asset classes with a substantial alternatives program that includes commitments to private-markets funds, and it operates with deliberate discretion — no marketing, minimal public footprint, and access strictly through networks. For GPs, Willett is the archetype of quiet permanent capital: patient, sophisticated, and philanthropically anchored, but reachable only through credible introductions from managers and LPs it already trusts.
