RD Capital Partners

RD Capital Partners (RDCP) is a family office investment firm based in London, United Kingdom, specializing in long-term control investments in UK businesses. The firm operates with permanent capital from its own balance sheet, allowing for a generational rather than transactional investment approach. They focus on building resilient businesses, supporting management teams, and compounding value over decades, aiming to acquire profitable businesses with strong market positions and sustainable growth opportunities.

Founded in 2015 by Sameer Rizvi and Iryna Dubylovska, RDCP began with a vision to create a unique investment company that would invest its own capital without the constraints of a traditional fund structure. They started by raising £2 million in debt from friends and family, which has since been repaid. Their first investment in 2016 was a single nursing home, Kings Bromley, which laid the foundation for their long-term compounding strategy. The firm emphasizes disciplined investment selection, strong capital stewardship, and corporate governance.

RDCP's portfolio has expanded through carefully selected acquisitions, active portfolio management, and a focus on operational improvements. While fundamentally sector-agnostic, their core investment sectors include Healthcare, Industrials, and Consumer Staples. Notable investments mentioned in various sources include companies in elder and disabled care, construction and engineering, and distributors/wholesale. The group has grown to an enterprise value of approximately $650 million, with its businesses collectively employing over 2,000 people across the UK.

The leadership team at RDCP brings together extensive experience in investment management, business growth, and strategic management. Key team members include founders Sameer Rizvi (CEO) and Iryna Dubylovska (CSO), along with a Chief Legal Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and several Investment Directors specializing in sectors like Industrials, Healthcare, and Consumer. The team is committed to working closely with leadership teams of portfolio companies to strengthen operations, support innovation, and unlock opportunities for lasting value creation.
