RF Investment Partners

RF Investment Partners operates as a private investment firm, specializing in providing flexible capital solutions to lower-middle-market businesses. The firm employs a strategic approach that includes structured debt, management buyouts, and both minority and control equity investments. It primarily targets companies within the Software, Healthcare Services, and Business Services sectors, aiming to offer substantial value-add assistance beyond mere capital deployment.

The firm was co-founded in 2017 by Peter Rothschild and Peter Fidler, both of whom serve as Managing Partners. Prior to establishing RF Investment Partners, Rothschild and Fidler had a shared history as co-founders of Tamarix Capital Partners, an SBIC Fund focused on flexible financing for lower-middle-market enterprises, which subsequently merged into OFS Capital Corporation. Their extensive backgrounds in principal investing, spanning over two decades each, highlighted a persistent need for tailored capital and hands-on guidance within this market segment.

RF Investment Partners’ clientele consists of founders and operators of lower-middle-market companies, often seeking their first institutional capital partner. The firm's mission is centered on delivering reliable capital and strategic guidance that aligns with the vision of its portfolio companies. By fostering close collaboration and working alongside management teams, RF Investment Partners endeavors to help these businesses achieve their objectives and succeed in dynamic market environments.
