Origo has created a financial and creative umbrella to attract talented filmmakers and provide guidance, access and financial assets in support of their vision.

The Origo Fund is actively seeking to aggregate capital commitments of $250 - $500 million. The investment period will span 7–8 years. The Origo Fund will seek to achieve significant returns while continually mitigating risk, which will be managed by carefully choosing each investment in an agnostic and dispassionate process with full consultation of the Management Company, Executive Investment Board (requiring a super majority vote) and other strategic advisors who are experts in their fields.
​The Fund will invest capital in a careful and strategic manner in the following areas:

“The opportunity in the film business is in content creation. A fund with a group of smart people who can help creators create—That’s the engine which drives the entire film and entertainment business globally…”
​
Peter Schlessel, Special Advisor to The Origo Fund & Former CEO Focus Features

​“Origo is not enamored of formulaic filmmaking nor asks investors to believe in romanticized notions of taste, but adheres to a disciplined approach to opportunity, taking positions that make sense, on a case by case basis, in quality projects made by reliable producers at various stages of creation and/or IP exploitation.  Origo is not an ‘all in’ bet on a slate of projects, nor is it locked into low, second-position returns of Mezz debt only, nor is it solely an equity source ... It is a full-service finance and production partner for high-quality, internationally targeted content-makers who produce programming for a worldwide audience and has integrated more sound risk mitigation and management into its operating procedures than most any other player in the space.”
