Gun Lake Investments (GLI) is an economic development organization based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It operates like a family office, directing capital across a diversified private equity portfolio on behalf of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi Indians of Michigan, the Gun Lake Tribe. GLI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Gun Lake Tribe and aims to diversify the tribal economy beyond gaming to build a durable financial foundation for future generations. Recent activity illustrates this diversification, notably the 2024 acquisition of Chstaffinginc to expand into the commercial services sector. The firm has also pursued tribal joint ventures and asset acquisitions, such as the Aki Construction venture launched in 2022 and investments like the McKay Tower in Grand Rapids.
