RoundShield Partners

RoundShield Partners, headquartered in London, is focused on European small to mid-cap special opportunities in asset-rich, out-of-favour and/or non-core asset classes. RoundShield is an independent investment firm, wholly-owned by its four founding partners. The senior investment team has over 50 years experience in special opportunities and private equity investing. RoundShield provides asset-backed capital solutions to small and mid-cap businesses and investors, in response to borrowers facing limited access to capital from banks and other traditional sources of funding. The firm aims to provide financing for: i) one-off transactions where counterparties are facing significant capital stress and are in need of white knight™ financings, transitional capital or bridge loans ii) repeat funding or lines of credit to corporate asset-backed expansion strategies and iii) asset-backed niche specialty finance firms that are no longer able to service their clients as a result of the banking sector withdrawing their lines of credit. All investments are backed by real estate, other real assets and / or financial assets. RoundShield sources off-market investments through direct relationships, joint venture partners and a select group of introducers. The firm is capital structure agnostic and invests via senior secured loans, second lien loans, mezzanine debt, preferred equity, and, on a selective basis, joint venture equity.
