A community of like-minded investors with an uncompromising commitment to creating value in everything we do.

Our approach

Investing alongside you

We are investors of our own money first, meaning a strong alignment of interests exists between our team and our co-investors. Currently, River Principals, Investment Committee, team members and their families represent approximately 25% of our invested capital.

Partnering for the long term

The companies that we invest in value our long-term wealth creation mindset and the deep expertise that exist within the broader River community. We understand successful partnerships are about much more than capital and are focused on supporting leading teams to reach their potential.

Acting with conviction

We believe sustained investment performance comes from identifying great businesses and backing them materially. Our track record since 1996 across asset classes, and flexible mandate, gives us the courage to be opportunistic and concentrate around our best ideas.

Our Investments

Our ambition is to compound our capital over the long term, with our investments focused on our best ideas across public and private markets.
