The Chickasaw Nation today announced the establishment of Pennington Creek Capital, a private capital investment firm with plans to open an investment office in Dallas, Texas, led by long-time Hicks Equity Partners Managing Director Curt Crofford, reported Dan Boren, chairman of the investment firm and Secretary of Commerce for the Chickasaw Nation.

Key Points: 
  • The Chickasaw Nation today announced the establishment of Pennington Creek Capital, a private capital investment firm with plans to open an investment office in Dallas, Texas, led by long-time Hicks Equity Partners Managing Director Curt Crofford, reported Dan Boren, chairman of the investment firm and Secretary of Commerce for the Chickasaw Nation.
  • This newly established office, coupled with the recent launch of Good Springs Capital in mid-2023, furthers the continued expansion of the Chickasaw Nation’s diversification efforts.
  • For the past 19 years, Crofford has executed, managed and overseen a broad investment mandate in the private equity investing group of the Thomas O. Hicks family office.
  • I believe strongly that the patient, long-term capital of the Chickasaw Nation is a compelling alternative to the increasingly short hold periods of institutional private equity firms.”
