As demonstrated with all of its private equity funds, RCF seeks a diversified portfolio and is therefore not, constrained by geography, commodity, and phase of project or investment structure. Below are the broad investment criteria RCF uses when evaluating investment opportunities:
Industry: Metals, minerals and mining
Investment size:
Time horizon: 4 to 7 years
Global focus: RCF has invested globally and does not have a preference or particular regional focus.
Commodities of interest: RCF invests in precious, base, energy, bulk, industrial minerals and minor metals, and has invested broadly across these categories.
Stage of development: RCF invests in development, construction and operating stage assets; however construction-ready projects will be a near-term focus.
Control: Preference for being an active investor with board representation.
Investment structures: RCF invests in portfolio companies across the capital structure (with the exception of senior debt) and utilizes investment structures such as convertible debt, equity, mezzanine financing, royalties, letters of credit and bridging debt as well as taking direct project interests.
