   ACON Investments is the current investment firm connected to New Era Cap. Primary transaction releases from ACON Investments in 2022 and 2024 explicitly describe New Era Cap, LLC as a portfolio company of ACON and detail ACON’s initial 2021 investment as New Era’s first and only institutional equity capital, followed by a 2022 single‑asset continuation fund to increase ACON’s ownership stake and maintain a significant position in the company.[1][2] These sources also state that Major League Baseball, the National Football League, and the National Basketball Association became minority owners as part of the 2022 transaction, which confirms the presence of additional minority investors but does not disclose any transfer of control away from ACON.[2] Independent coverage from Private Equity Professional, SGB Media, SGI Europe, Reuters, and other deal trackers consistently refers to New Era Cap as a portfolio company of ACON Investments and describes ACON as holding a significant ownership stake, while the leagues are characterized as minority owners, supporting a majority‑control classification with undisclosed percentage.[3][5][7][11] No independent or primary source indicates that ACON has exited or reduced its stake below majority or that another financial sponsor now clearly controls New Era, so the current‑owner claim as ACON Investments remains valid as of the latest 2024–2026 reporting. For business and brand verification, New Era’s own U.S., UK/EU, and Hong Kong sites function as official platform and store directories.
