Rafferty Holdings is a privately backed business-building and investment firm whose history dates to 1987. The company has founded, scaled, acquired, and operated businesses through multiple market cycles, and applies that hands-on experience to its investments. It emphasizes disciplined growth, sound strategy, scalable execution, and long-term partnerships, investing its own capital without the constraints of a traditional fund lifecycle. Rafferty works with founders and management teams, valuing character, thoughtful decision-making, and trust alongside capability.

Its operating platforms span several areas. Direxion offers leveraged and alternative exchange-traded fund products, while Hilton Capital Management manages actively invested public portfolios. Raff Ventures provides private capital to early- and growth-stage businesses, and Rafferty Real Estate invests opportunistically across real estate sectors. The firm also traces its operating experience to businesses it founded or built, including Cohane, Rafferty Securities, Rafferty Capital Markets, Direxion, and Hilton Capital Management. Rafferty Holdings reports approximately $80 billion across its operating investment platforms and highlights $58 billion as evidence of its track record.
