RCP Advisors

RCP Advisors is proud to share the second installment of a three-part research presentation series: The Case for Small Buyouts. In this series, we have leveraged more than two decades of proprietary data and research focused on lower middle market transactions to explain why we believe small market buyouts have historically produced the highest and most consistent returns in private equity. Part I of this series outlined the structural advantages observed in small market buyout transactions that contribute to these higher levels of return. Part II of this series illustrates how these observed structural advantages drive excess returns, and Part III will outline how, historically, small buyout transactions have consistently outperformed other investment areas over long periods of time.

We are proud to announce that RCP's secondary program (RCP SOF I-IV) was ranked among the top ten secondary family of funds in PitchBook’s 2023 Global Manager Performance Score League Tables, and RCP's co-investment program (RCPDirect I-IV) was recognized with the highest performance score in PitchBook's Manager Performance Scoring for the Co-Investment Category. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There can be no assurance that a fund will achieve comparable results as any prior investments or prior investment funds of RCP. Source: Pitchbook. The PitchBook Manager Performance Scores (the “Performance Scores”) are a third-party rating published by PitchBook, an independent third-party, on 9/20/24 (data as of most current date). The Pitchbook Global Manager Performance Score League Tables (the "League Tables") are a third-party rating published by PitchBook on 7/30/24 (data as of 12/31/23). The Performance Scores are a quantitative framework designed to assess the performance track record of a fund manager’s closed-end private market strategies, also known as fund families. The Performance Scores aggregate historical performance of each manager’s family of funds across vintage years and reflect the extent to which certain fund families outperformed or underperformed a benchmark, which is based on IRR across all fund vintages within the same fund strategy peer group (e.g., fund-of-funds, secondaries, co-investment, etc.). For the “co-investment – general” fund strategy, a total of 768 fund families across 1,479 funds were included in their evaluation. For the “Secondaries funds” fund strategy, a total of 60 fund families across 209 funds were included in their evaluation. To be included in the ranking, PitchBook required fund families to have at least two funds that are at least five years in age with a Z-score to qualify. Comparisons made by Pitchbook are to fund sponsors with investment strategies, structures and investment terms and conditions that are different (in some cases, materially) than those of RCP. Additional information regarding the criteria and methodology underlying the Performance Scores are available here: https://lnkd.in/gk8j4uN4 RCP has not made any payment to Pitchbook or any of its affiliates to be considered for this ranking or in connection with any other services. The Performance Scores should not be considered an endorsement of RCP or its funds by the authors or distributors of such rankings. The Performance Scores are developed on a proprietary basis exclusively by PitchBook. RCP has not independently verified the data used in Pitchbook’s Performance Scores and makes no representations about the accuracy or completeness of such information or Performance Scores. This ranking is not to be construed as indicative of RCP’s future performance or the future performance of any investment vehicle managed by RCP. The Performance Scores should not be relied upon when making a decision to invest in any fund.
