Rampart Capital
Rampart Capital was established in 2008 by Graham Noble and Mihail Vasilescu. The partner-owned firm in London draws its capital base from senior investment professionals who combined personal wealth after careers at global private banks and asset managers. The firm allocates across venture, venture debt, distressed debt, mezzanine, natural resources and special situations. It constructs portfolios that combine these strategies while maintaining diversification. Holdings include Stratford Office Village in London and the MM Affordable Homes Portfolio in the United Kingdom. The geographic focus centers on the United Kingdom and broader European opportunities. Rampart Capital employs a small partner team that includes Giles White as Chief Investment Officer, Jim Webb as Chief Operating Officer and Toby Watson. Additional holdings comprise the Shapero Rare Books Collection and Gem Containers Limited. No dated operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. The firm operates as an independent investment office owned by key personnel rather than as an extension of a single family or external sponsor. This structure keeps decision-making aligned with the partners who manage client mandates on a bespoke basis.
