Dec 10, New York — Today, Closed Loop Partners announced that JS Capital Management, the private investment firm led by Jonathan Soros, has acquired a minority stake in Closed Loop Partners, the New York-based investment firm and innovation center focused on building the circular economy. JS Capital’s investment expands the firm’s existing partnership with Closed Loop Partners. In 2018, JS Capital became a limited partner across Closed Loop Partners’ funds and an active co-investor.
Closed Loop Partners’ asset management division is comprised of venture capital, project finance, growth equity and private equity.

Investors in Closed Loop Partners’ funds include the world’s largest retailers, consumer goods and technology companies, financial institutions, family offices and foundations.

“With an exceptional investment track record and deep commitment to a sustainable future, JS Capital makes an ideal partner for the next chapter of our growth,” says Ron Gonen, Founder and CEO of Closed Loop Partners.
A circular economy offers a viable business framework to reduce costs, increase efficiency and protect the environment we share, benefiting people, the planet and business. At a time when climate change and sustainability are no longer top of mind for only waste-conscious consumers, but for investors, brands and governments across the globe, business as usual must change to avoid the economic, social and environmental risks of climate inaction.
