Crestline Summit Rebrands as SummitTX, Ushering in New Chapter as a Leading Multi-strategy Hedge Fund

FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Crestline Summit, the public markets hedge fund division of Crestline Investors, Inc., announced today its rebranding as SummitTX (pronounced “Summit ‘T’ ‘X’”) and the independent registration of SummitTX Capital, L.P. as the SEC Registered Investment Adviser for the SummitTX Funds.

The rebranding represents a broader effort to elevate the hedge fund business and brand while creating a clear distinction between Crestline’s public markets and private markets businesses. Following the rebranding and additional operating and regulatory independence, the $3+ billion AUM SummitTX remains a subsidiary of Crestline Investors, Inc.

This announcement follows continued strong investment performance - one of the strongest years of growth for the firm since its inception - which has led to more than doubling assets over the past two years - and the launch of a well-received, larger balance sheet version of its original fund. “Over the last few years, we have built an incredible team and culture, developing operational independence that enables SummitTX to function as a distinct brand. The rebrand solidifies our path forward in positioning SummitTX as a leading name within the hedge fund industry,” said Caroline Cooley, Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer at SummitTX.

SummitTX was originally founded upon a set of established core values, a robust senior leadership team, and a collaborative culture and investment process,” said Douglas Bratton, Founding Partner, CEO, and Co-Chief Investment Officer at Crestline Investors. “Under this rebrand, these tenets will only continue to flourish, and we look forward to seeing all that is to come in this next era for SummitTX.”

The new name, SummitTX, derives from the firm’s commitment to providing continuity from its existing business and the “TX”, which pays homage to its Texas heritage. Furthermore, the “TX” superscript format in the logo signifies an exponent that connotes growth (Summit to the power of TX).
