iStacey Morimoto
Mr. Morimoto leverages over 20 years of experience in the securities industry to help his clients navigate the complexities of alternative investments.
After starting his career at Salomon Smith Barney and recognizing the limitations of the traditional wirehoue platform, Stacey became an independent financial representative and established his own securities broker dealer.
Through DST investments, he saw a unique opportunity to deliver real value to clients that larger firms couldn’t offer. The ability to improve the overall day-to-day quality of people’s lives, beyond just their finances, is still what drives him.
With Stax Capital, a boutique firm that prioritizes individual attention, Stacey’s mission is to deliver the best possible educational experience for investors, so that they can make the right decision for themselves.
Quinn Morimoto
Son of founder and CEO Mr. Stacey Morimoto, Quinn has benefitted from early exposure to the inner workings of the securities industry. With a degree in finance from the University of San Diego, he heads up the due diligence and underwriting for all the DST offerings brought to the Stax Platform, a process that includes gathering appraisals, third party reports, and legal opinions as well as recreating sponsors’ financial models. He dives deep into the numbers and analyzes offers from every angle, looking for flaws, in order to minimize as much risk as possible for investors. Quinn has directly facilitated hundreds of private placement investment transactions and would say that the best part of the job is being able to truly make a lasting impact on people’s lives.

Understanding the Benefits and Risks of Private Market Alternatives
Benefits
Risks
Higher Potential Returns
Private markets have consistently outperformed public markets. For example, According to a study by Cliffwater, state pension funds’ private equity investments have outpaced public equity by 4.1% annually over a 21-year period.
Enhanced Diversification
By investing in private assets such as real estate, private equity, and private credit, you can achieve diversification beyond public market options, helping to balance risk in your portfolio.
Access to Exclusive Opportunities
Private markets provide access to investment opportunities that are not available on public exchanges, offering you the chance to explore unique avenues for growth.
Illiquidity
Private market assets are less liquid, meaning they can be difficult to sell quickly. Investors should be prepared for limited access to their capital for extended periods.
Long-Term Commitments
Many private investments require a longer time commitment, typically ranging from 5 to 10 years or more, making them unsuitable for short-term financial goals.
Higher Costs
Investing in private markets often involves higher fees and expenses compared to public market investments, which can affect your overall returns.
