Get the best of
both worlds

Castlerock targets both cash yield and long-term capital growth. We target an 8.0% return on the fund’s value each year. Since inception in 2017, we have provided investors with total returns of 10.1% p.a., with a cash yield exceeding the target return at 11.1% p.a. Returns may vary and are not guaranteed.

Put your money
straight to work

Unlike other private equity funds, at Castlerock we don't buy businesses to build and then sell. We select and partner with businesses that have already grown to the point where they can sustainably make distributions of profit to shareholders. We have three profitable businesses in the portfolio so far. This means, no matter when you invest, you'll receive distributions alongside our current investors immediately. Castlerock has made distributions every quarter since inception in 2017 however distributions are not guaranteed and may vary.
