Who We Are & What We Do

​

Who We Are

​

Carter Family Office is a privately held single-family office founded by Jimmy Carter, former professional footballer (Liverpool, Arsenal, Millwall) and a long-standing property investor and developer, alongside his son Luke Carter, a seasoned entrepreneur, (property) investor, and trader active across private equity, structured finance, and alternative markets.


As a private office, we invest our own capital, deploy into sectors we understand, and act with intent. We are not lenders, intermediaries, or brokers - we walk the walk.
 

Our approach is guided by experience, discretion, and structure.
 

We operate quietly, and we engage only where there is commercial sense and mutual value.

​

​

Private Investment & Real Assets

​

Property remains central to our investment identity, both as a store of capital and a means to build value.

 

  • Active investors in residential, commercial and mixed-use real estate

  • Strategic acquisition, development and value-add opportunities

  • Private placement of capital into deals we lead or participate in

  • Access to debt structuring including mezzanine and stretch senior, where aligned

  • Participation in funding stacks only where we hold conviction or influence

​

We also consider selective opportunities in art, collectables, and cultural assets as part of our
tangible investment strategy, where there is provenance, liquidity, or strategic interest.

​

We do not offer generalised property loans or operate as a funder. Our capital is deployed privately, and selectively, into opportunities we stand behind.

 

Capital Growth Solutions

​

We support qualified businesses and counterparties seeking capital growth - whether asset-backed, credit-based or cash-deployed - via structured participation routes and other high-level capital solutions.

​

  • Managed buy-sell / private placement programs (small, mid and large cap structuring)

  • Managed trading accounts (available across a range of capital entry points)

  • Structured capital strategies for liquidity or leverage

  • Bespoke entry into high-barrier vehicles (select cases only)

  • Structured receivables finance within active trade flows (e.g. commodities and goods)

​

Occasionally, we engage with creative and media-based opportunities, such as film or entertainment finance, where they align with commercially structured capital routes and proven models.

​​

Entry into these routes is not open. We work discreetly and only with parties who meet documentation, readiness, and suitability standards.

​

Trade Finance & Structuring

​

We assist real businesses in facilitating and executing trade using structured tools and secure pathways - not speculative ideas, but contract-backed deals requiring real delivery.

​

  • Documentary letters of credit (DLC), standby letters of credit (SBLC)

  • Proof of funds (MT199 / MT799), bank comfort letters

  • Facilitation of trade instruments through trusted counterparties

  • Monetisation of financial instruments (SBLC, BG, DLC)

  • Hard asset monetisation (real, verifiable asset basis only)

  • Structured debt for purchase or trade facilitation

  • ESG and energy infrastructure project structures (selectively)

 

​We work only with counterparties who can demonstrate active transactions, commercial logic, and appropriate documentation.​

​

Commodities & Strategic Energy Markets

​

We operate across the energy and commodities space, with a focus on mainly tier 1 oil and gas assets, production, physical trade, banking, and logistics.


Our involvement begins at upstream supply and continues through to structured delivery. We are aligned with allocation holders, title holders, and long-term production contracts, engaging only where trade is real, documented, and commercially sound.


Our activity spans a wide range of crude grades and refined fuels, with emphasis on aviation and industrial flows.

​

  • Refined product interest includes Jet A1, other aviation kerosenes, D6, and EN590

  • Alignment with credible production, trade, and offtake counterparties

  • Involvement in emerging markets, new trade corridors, and evolving delivery loops

  • Access to logistical infrastructure including terminals, bonded storage, and STS or tank-to-tank operations

  • Strong command of trade banking including DLCs, SBLCs, escrow-secured executions, and monetisation tools

  • Select participation in LNG, LPG, and infrastructure-linked energy projects where strategically aligned

​

We are keen advocates of energy security across both molecular products and renewables.


Our approach maintains balance between core and emerging energy solutions, while supporting the journey to efficient decarbonisation where possible.


We enter where we bring value, capital, and strategic clarity, and only engage with alignment.

How We Operate

​

We are investors first, not promoters, brokers, or lenders.


We value trust, experience, and clarity.

 

If a business or transaction is real, structured, and commercially sound, we’re open to building something meaningful, with the aim of creating lasting impact.
