Who we are

Welcome to Settoon Capital

Settoon Capital is a private wealth investment company organized exclusively to manage the assets of the Russ A. Settoon family. Russ Settoon successfully founded, grew and exited his legacy business, Settoon Towing, from which he formed Settoon Capital to diversify his investment holdings. Investing in both active and passive positions, Settoon's values take center stage in evaluating all opportunities. Settoon Capital is not a private equity group and therefore can be more flexible in its investment structures and has a long-term investment time horizon. A Louisiana family office formed in 2015, Settoon Capital invests in Transportation & Logistics, Energy, Construction and Real Estate, among other sectors.
