There are moments when an industry needs to be seen through a different lens—not to break the rules, but to expand what’s possible. Where some see transactions, others recognize structures that can evolve, scale, and generate lasting impact. It’s in that more strategic, less transactional perspective where firms emerge not just to manage capital, but to shape long-term value.
From that place of vision and intent stands Roderick Hodge II, Founder and CEO of Hodge Atlantic Group, a firm that has grown from a regional operation in Raleigh, North Carolina, into a global investment platform managing over $117 million in assets. But beyond the numbers, what sets Hodge apart is his ability to transform a generational legacy into a modern, globally focused investment institution.
“Hodge Atlantic Group was founded on the same values that have defined our family enterprise from the very beginning—integrity, discipline, and relationship-driven investing,” he explains. With a long-term vision and strategic precision, Hodge understood that the challenge wasn’t preserving legacy—it was building on it.
And he did so by implementing institutional governance, attracting top-tier talent, and expanding the firm’s strategy to include private equity, real assets, and alternative credit.
Rather than remain passive investors, the firm shifted into active partnership. Today, Hodge Atlantic Group works side by side with its portfolio companies, helping refine business models, streamline operations, and unlock access to global markets through a carefully cultivated international network.
That’s the core difference Hodge brings to the table: an integrated approach that combines capital with insight, execution with strategic alignment, and vision with structure. “In today’s market, capital alone is a commodity,” Hodge says. “What differentiates success is becoming a true partner, not just a financier.”
With this philosophy as its foundation, the firm has expanded into diverse sectors including fintech, sustainable manufacturing, and real assets. But beyond industry labels, every decision is guided by a clearly defined investment thesis, grounded in data, long-term strategy, and operational discipline. “We’re not chasing momentum; we’re building longevity,” Hodge notes.
That same thinking applies when evaluating markets. The firm seeks regions with strong governance, growing middle classes, and scalable infrastructure. And when they find founders with clarity, discipline, and a collaborative mindset, they know there’s room to build sustainable value.
Investor relationships follow that same standard—rooted in trust, transparency, and accountability. “Strong relationships are built over time, but they’re sustained by consistency. We make it a priority to deliver on every promise, no matter how small,” he shares.
That level of consistency extends internally. At Hodge Atlantic Group, the culture is built around ownership and performance. “We operate like a startup in mindset, but like an institution in structure,” Hodge explains. Team members are empowered to think like entrepreneurs, with the backing of disciplined frameworks that meet institutional expectations.
Looking ahead, the firm is focused on strategic growth, geographic expansion, and launching a dedicated impact investment vertical. The goal: to be recognized not only for strong returns, but for shaping the next generation of global leaders, investors, and entrepreneurs.
Roderick Hodge II isn’t just continuing a legacy—he’s redefining it. With a steady hand and a forward-thinking lens, he has taken a family foundation and built something bolder, broader, and built to last. In a financial world often driven by the short term, he chooses to invest in what endures.
