Investing the right way, for the long term

A family office built from the ground up to reflect a simple belief: that owners, employees, customers, and suppliers all deserve respect and transparency.

The Bell Path Group Story

Built on values, from the ground up

Chris Lau is the Managing Partner of Bell Path Group. After more than 10 years of advising and investing in lower middle market businesses, he founded Bell Path Group in 2022 to invest on behalf of himself and a select group of family and friends.

Chris believes in investing and improving businesses the right way, treating business owners, customers, employees, and suppliers with the respect and transparency they deserve. Bell Path Group exists because he wanted to build something that reflected those values from the ground up.
