An Alternative Investment Firm
Established in 2015, Copper Street Capital LLP (“Copper Street”) is an alternative investment firm focused on capturing thematic value-driven opportunities within the financial services sector. The Copper Street team brings deep industry knowledge with a breadth of execution – aiming to identify absolute and relative value opportunities across capital structures as well as investing in longer-term strategic deals in the sector.
Copper Street is authorised and regulated by the FCA, registered as an Exempt Reporting Adviser with the SEC, and is based in the UK.
Copper Street is exclusively focused on financial services and invests across public and private markets. Doing both of these together in one firm is quite unique. We believe that we have a competitive advantage from having an active engagement in the markets as well as an extensive network which allows us to identify strategic opportunities.
Our leadership team has had extensive experience building and running businesses successfully at tier 1 financial institutions. Finally, we seek to align interests and to build long term partnerships with our investors.
We believe the combination of active engagement in both public and private markets enables Copper Street Capital to outperform.
We believe there are many forces shaping the transformation of the financial services industry, from regulatory to macro-economic events. These forces have created both tactical and strategic opportunities in the sector and we have created Copper Street to invest in those opportunities.
The fund will be overwhelmingly invested in public securities, taking advantage of recapitalizations and discrepancies that are created across the entire capital structure. We will also use our presence in the market and our extensive network to identify strategic situations where we can bring our operational expertise to bear as a means of creating long term value.
