Our Name
In Texas, our name, Motte, refers to a small grove of live oak trees.
The live oak is a sprawling tree that is prevalent throughout the southern U.S. Live oaks remain green and “live” throughout winter, when other oaks are dormant, leafless, and appear dead. In addition, they develop a deep, extensive root system that grows for decades.
The live oak symbolizes our patient investment philosophy, family office heritage, and desire to build businesses of enduring significance.
Our Mission
