Cockrell Interests is a diversified private investment firm with over 100 years in business. The Cockrell Family business originated as an oil and gas exploration and production company during the 1920s. The family divested most of its oil & gas interests in the 1990's and formed an investment management company, Cockrell Interests (CI). The Cockrells also operate a foundation that donates money to philanthropic causes in Houston as well as to the College of Engineering at the University of Texas. Pinto American Growth Fund is affiliated with Cockrell Interests and is the manager of a series of specialized investment funds to invest and manage assets for families, institutions and management team partners. Pinto American Growth (see profile) invests in and works with small- and medium-size, family-owned companies in Hispanic cultures and throughout the global emerging markets. CI invests across a range of asset classes including public securities, real estate, private equity, oil & gas, venture capital, and private credit.
