Ascot Investments
Ascot Investments began in 2013 when Rolf Sickman and Frédéric Goblet established the firm in Hoeilaart, Belgium. The founders drew on prior experience building single-family offices and advising institutions. Their background shaped a practice centered on capital preservation for select families. The firm allocates across private equity, private credit, real estate, hedge funds and insurance-linked products. It also holds positions in early-stage and growth companies. Confirmed geographies include Europe and North America. Investment types encompass direct co-investments, SPVs and fund-of-funds commitments. The team consists of senior banking and investment professionals. Frank Sickman appeared as a co-panelist at the Family Offices & Asset Management conference on 18 March 2025. No additional offices are recorded. Independence from banks and asset managers allows Ascot to select external partners without conflicts. This structure supports bespoke mandates for a limited client group.
