Premier direct and indirect private equity investing.
Roland Capital Group aims to deliver exceptional returns to our investors and provide creative capital solutions to small- and medium-sized businesses. We execute two distinct but complementary capital deployment strategies.
Indirect private equity. Roland partners with the world's premier mega-cap private equity firms to provide access to outstanding private equity performance to our limited partners.
Direct private equity. Roland deploys programmatic acquisition strategies in select markets within the healthcare, industrials, and services sectors. Our aim is three-fold: (1) provide creative capital solutions to entrepreneurs and business owners; (2) build high-quality businesses that focus on our customers, employees, and communities; and (3) generate alpha for our investors.
Our elite team holds a top-tier investing and business operations pedigree, extensive operational experience, and a commitment to producing excellent results for all transaction and business stakeholders.
