RBS Investment Group

RBS Investment Group traces its roots to the Seligman family name established in financial services through J & W Seligman Co. in the late 19th century. Samuel Jacob Seligman acted as a founding partner until 2015. Ronald Bryan Seligman continues as second-generation founding Partner. The firm was set up in 1999 to channel capital into targeted opportunities. Investment activity covers natural resources focused on gold and copper mining, real estate acquisitions and financings, and technology positions in aerospace, computing, energy, and advanced materials. Confirmed investment types include direct co-investments, fund of funds, private equity, private credit, and real estate. Geographic reach extends to Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, North America, and South America. Technology emphasis includes AI/ML, quantum computing, space tech, and Web3. The operating team includes Jesse Seligman, who also serves as CEO of Copperman. John N. Johnson IV participates through the RBS Real Estate Group and holds board roles at the Urban Land Institute. The Seligman Family Foundation operates as the philanthropic vehicle. No recent operational events from the last 24 months appear in available records. RBS maintains membership in the Association for Corporate Growth for deal sourcing alongside its direct investment mandate. The structure separates family wealth management from external fund commitments while preserving control over real-asset and resource portfolios.
