General Counsel
Jesse S. McIntyre serves as General Counsel to Stokes Capital Management, advising on fund formation, securities compliance, deal counsel, and transaction structuring.

GP Commitment
$500K
Alex Saunders and Trey Potter committed. Chester Stokes expected to contribute additional capital, amount to be finalized prior to first close.
Chester's team has deployed capital profitably for 60 years without a fund. They never needed one. The fund exists because the opportunity set has outgrown their balance sheet. Institutional infrastructure was built before the first dollar was raised: Apex Group fund administration at $25M committed, an independent auditor, and experienced fund counsel.
