Boich Investment Group is a family investment office headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida.
About us.
Founded in 1963 in the heart of Ohio coal country, Boich Companies operated mining assets in southeast Ohio for more than three decades. In the mid-1990s, the company sold these operations, relocated to Columbus, and shifted its focus toward building a successful coal trading business.
Our History
In the early 2000s, we re-entered the mining industry by acquiring operations in West Virginia and Kentucky. These assets were held until 2005, when they were sold to a private equity group.
In 2005, Wayne M. Boich, in addition to becoming Chairman and CEO of Boich Companies, established the Family Investment Office with the vision of diversifying the family’s assets beyond coal while continuing to expand its mining interests.
In 2008, Boich, together with FirstEnergy Corporation, acquired mining assets that became the foundation of Signal Peak Energy.
By late 2011, Pinesdale LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gunvor Group, Ltd., one of the world’s leading commodity traders, purchased a one-third interest in Signal Peak for $400 million. This investment valued the operations at $1.5 billion, including debt.
In July 2025, Boich and Gunvor jointly acquired FirstEnergy’s equity interest, with Boich holding 51% and Gunvor 49%. Today, Signal Peak Energy stands as one of the world’s largest and most efficient underground coal mines, exporting coal internationally to Asia and South America.
Family Investment Office
Founded in 2012, Boich Investment Group (BIG) has grown into a diversified investment office with a significant presence in the U.S. real estate industry. Our portfolio spans residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments nationwide. Beyond real estate, BIG invests across industries including energy services, food services, specialty financing, telecommunications, and technology.
Most recently, BIG launched Reserve Padel, what started as a passion project has since evolved into a lifestyle racquet brand. Since opening the first club in February 2023, Reserve has expanded to five locations, three in Miami and two in New York, building a vibrant community of members with a passion for Padel. The brand has grown beyond members clubs, now encompassing court sales and installation, merchandise and apparel, as well as marquee events like the Reserve Cup Series and Pro-Ams across the U.S and Europe.
Our legacy was built on success in the coal industry, but our future is driven by continued diversification. Backed by strong financial resources, BIG invests in a wide range of companies and transaction sizes, always seeking new opportunities to form enduring partnerships that generate sustainable growth.
Headquartered in Miami Beach, Florida, with an office in Columbus, Ohio, Boich Investment Group remains committed to building on its legacy while shaping the future through strategic investments.
