Beemok Capital

Beemok Capital is a single-family office based in Charleston, South Carolina, founded by businessman and philanthropist Benjamin Navarro. The firm manages the Navarro family's wealth, which originated from Sherman Financial Group and Credit One Bank, a consumer finance and debt collection enterprise established in 1998. Beemok Capital's investment portfolio spans multiple sectors, including real estate, sports and entertainment, hospitality, and financial services. Notably, the firm owns and operates the Charleston Place Hotel and the Western & Southern Open tennis tournament in Cincinnati.

In October 2022, Beemok Capital acquired the Western & Southern Open from the United States Tennis Association, committing to keep the tournament in Mason, Ohio, for at least another 25 years. The firm has invested approximately $260 million to develop a year-round sports campus in Mason, enhancing the facilities and experience for both players and fans. Additionally, Beemok Capital launched the Catalyst initiative in 2025, a business pitch competition offering up to $1 million in funding to early-stage companies in Charleston's Tri-county area.

Beemok Capital's investment strategy focuses on long-term, community-oriented growth opportunities. The firm's approach emphasizes significant investments in facilities and experiences, aiming to create world-class environments in the sectors it operates. This strategy reflects a commitment to enhancing the quality and impact of its investments, particularly in the sports and hospitality industries.
