The firm’s latest buyout fund closed at $1.2 billion in capital commitments in less than four months, with demand exceeding the hard cap by more than 50%. RMCF V closed well in excess of its predecessor fund RMCF IV, a $650 million fund (2015). RMCF invests in fast-growing North American companies with generally up to $10 million of EBITDA. At the end of 2018, the RMCF team had invested in more than 55 platforms and 75 add-ons since 2005 and had exited more than 30 platforms, including Tate’s Bake Shop and Alchemy Systems earlier in the year.
