Broadshore Capital Partners announced that its management team, led by CEO Brad Howe, has acquired the majority ownership interest previously held by The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America. The move completes the Los Angeles-based firm’s transition to a fully independent, management-owned real estate investment and advisory firm. 

Howe described the milestone as a “defining moment,” emphasizing that independence will allow the firm to operate with greater agility, entrepreneurial focus, and alignment with both client and management interests. With a national footprint and a multi-strategy platform, Broadshore manages equity and debt investments across all major property types. 

The firm noted that the transition will not affect day-to-day operations, client relationships, or leadership. The senior management team remains intact, ensuring continuity in investment oversight. COO Russell Munn added that the firm is already advancing new investment initiatives tailored for opportunities expected in the coming real estate recovery cycle, crediting strong support from clients, lenders, and employees in completing the transaction.
