RoundShield Partners

RoundShield Partners is a specialist investment manager founded in 2013, headquartered in London with additional offices in Jersey and Geneva. The firm manages approximately $3 billion across funds that focus on European special situations, credit opportunities, and asset-backed strategies. Its mandate is to provide flexible capital in complex and often under-served markets, with a strong emphasis on downside protection and asset-backed lending.

The firm’s strategy spans distressed debt, non-performing loans, real estate financing, and structured credit, where it can leverage its expertise in valuation, restructuring, and collateral management. RoundShield is particularly active in Southern Europe, where it has financed distressed asset purchases and recapitalizations, often partnering with local operators. This niche approach has allowed it to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns to investors while playing a constructive role in markets experiencing financial dislocation.

RoundShield employs around 70 professionals with backgrounds in law, finance, and restructuring. Its culture emphasizes rigorous analysis, hands-on portfolio involvement, and alignment with investors. Over the past decade, it has established itself as a respected player in European private credit, distinguished by its ability to navigate complexity and deliver bespoke financing solutions.
