Background

Our Story

High Country Advisors is designed to be there for the quiet moments with the leaders of investment organizations as they face bright futures, difficult choices, and all the days in-between.

At the heart of our work serving investment managers is John-Austin Saviano’s over 20 years of experience investing in and advising investment firms across virtually all asset classes. This experience includes backing dozens of managers at the emerging stage, as well as learning from investing with some of the most iconic investment organizations.

Beyond just serving as an allocator, we have been a part of building allocator organizations. Our experience spans roles in the launch two large endowments and advising numerous other large scale pools of capital going through launch or transition.

The through-line across all of our work is a deep passion of the practice of investment management and for helping great investors deliver outstanding results over long time horizons.
