GROUP THESIS · THE CAPITAL SHIFT

Capital isn't buying tools for the professions. It's buying the professions.

Across every division tracked by Capital Trust Group, the same pattern is repeating: private equity, sovereign capital, and now frontier AI labs are taking direct equity stakes in the firms that make up accounting, law, consulting, IT services, financial services, and HR — not just selling those firms software. Thrive Holdings, Blackstone, TowerBrook, New Mountain Capital, Hellman & Friedman and others already hold stakes across dozens of top-ranked firms, and OpenAI's move into Thrive Holdings in December 2025 marked the first time a frontier AI lab joined that list directly.

Capital Trust Group exists to track that consolidation as it happens, division by division — a live institutional register, not a finished census.

GROUP OUTLOOK

Capital Trust Group — Thriving in AI Disruption

Every division in this network sits inside a profession being repriced by AI and re-capitalised by private equity at the same time. Capital Trust Group's thesis is that the firms, platforms and capital pools tracked here aren't just surviving that shift — the register exists precisely because they're the ones positioned to compound through it.
