Frequently asked questions
How does Rockpool source its investment opportunities?
Rockpool structures its model around direct outreach to business owners and corporate financiers, maintaining a dual focus on proprietary and intermediated deal flow. The firm specifically invites approaches from owners seeking growth capital or succession solutions, and its sector-agnostic posture across business services, healthcare, and industrials ensures broad origination. No further sourcing channels or relationships are publicly disclosed.
Is Rockpool structured as a fund or does it operate on a deal-by-deal co-investment basis?
Rockpool operates on a deal-by-deal co-investment model. Investors select individual transactions rather than committing capital to a blind pool, giving them line-of-sight into each UK private company backed by the firm. This structure distinguishes it from traditional closed-end private equity funds and is central to its pitch to private investors and intermediaries.
How much capital has Rockpool deployed and at what annual pace?
Since 2012 the firm has invested over £750m and currently supports more than 25 management teams. It targets roughly £60m of new deployments per year (per the firm's website). Total assets under management are not publicly disclosed.
