RCP Advisors, a private equity investment firm that offers access to North American small buyout fund managers through primary funds, secondary funds, and co-investment funds, announced the final closing of RCP Fund XVIII. This fund closed on about $285 million in aggregate commitments.
The fund has a broad LP base of new and existing investors, including family offices, high-net-worth individuals, foundations, public pension plans, and endowments.
Fund XVIII will be adhering to the same investment strategy that RCP’s predecessor primary funds employ. And the fund will generally target investments with buyout fund managers primarily focusing on less than $1 billion in committed capital. These managers will generally seek to make control-oriented investments in established, small to mid-sized companies with about $3 million to $25 million in EBITDA.
