Argentum is a team of dedicated investment professionals and successful operating executives that have a long history of working together. The core group of professionals has worked together for over 12 years.

The firm was founded in 1988 by Walter H. Barandiaran and Daniel Raynor and raised its first investment fund in 1990, making it one of the longest standing firms in the private equity community with the same managing partners. This longevity is the keystone to the many attributes that make us a successful firm and a desirable partner – experience during a variety of business cycles, vast network of contacts, successful long-term track record, and continuity of management and decision making.
