BROIDY, MARKSTONE WORK TO MAKE CONNECTIONS

Markstone Capital Group Chairman and Co-Founder Elliot Broidy, who has long been shy about appearing in the media, has broken his silence and gone on the record and said that “a strong and vital Israel is important to the United States, to American Jewry, and to me and my family.” Elliott Broidy is a fervent supporter of Israel and has invested in multiple Israel-based companies through his Markstone private equity fund. Elliot Broidy’s business models back up his strong rhetoric; Markstone has already raised over US $800 million for investment in the Israeli economic infrastructure. Diversification is also a large part of his investment strategy in Israel, touching companies in fields as diverse as tech, agriculture, retail, and finance.

The Israel-America chamber of commerce has awarded Elliott Broidy for his longstanding support of Israel’s economy and for promoting American investments in Israeli infrastructure. As this article points out: “Amb. Zalman Shoval, President of the Chamber . . . noted that Mr. Elliott Broidy, President of Markstone Capital Group, never backed away from investing in Israel. Mr. Broidy travelled especially from the U.S. to receive the Chamber Award.”

Broidy was integral in revitalizing the California-Israel Chamber of Commerce after the organization began to drift and lose direction in the mid-90s. “At that point, the chamber had lost vitality and become dormant,” said one of the original founders. The leadership and business acumen of Eliott Broidy allowed the California-Israel chamber of commerce to once again become a vibrant cultural and economic force for strengthening ties between Israel and the state of California. Today the CICC is a strong, reputable organization whose values and activities are in line with our own.

Facing Tomorrow

Broidy also has a long history of economic success in Israel and consistently projects and provides high returns for his investors. His economic strengths serve to unify and improve economic conditions for both LA and Israel and also serve to make the potentially lucrative field of American-Israeli economic relations more attractive for foreign money managers. Elliot Broidy has gone on record to project incredibly high value coming from the Markstone portfolio.

Such dedication is rightfully lauded and we are proud to make Elliot Broidy of Markstone Capital Group our featured investor this month.

Because of his demonstrated commitment to Israel, Elliott Broidy has been given the honor of participating in the first presidential conference of Shimon Peres’ presidency.  The annual conference, appropriately titled “Facing Tomorrow,” will be a celebration of Israel’s 60 years of existence as a nation, and will recognize the many accomplished persons who have been integral in making Israel what it is today.  The conference will welcome a number of distinguished individuals from the political sphere, as well as figures from the areas of arts, sciences, and literature—among many others.  Elliott Broidy will play a central role in the “Facing Tomorrow” event.  As the head of the conference’s Benefactor committee, Broidy takes the lead in conducting a privately-funded assessment of the challenges that are to face Israel in the coming future.  Broidy will be joined by other business leaders including Sir Ronald Cohen from London, Alan Casden and Lenny Sands from Los Angeles.
