Professional investors
Macaulay Capital seeks to provide bespoke co-investment opportunities for family offices, charities and other professional investors or advisers.
Professional investors are offered two ways of co-investing:
Opportunities to invest private capital into individual companies alongside Macaulay
The opportunity to invest in a diversified portfolio of private capital deals carefully selected by Macaulay.
Our unique approach
We invest in well established, robust and consistently profitable UK businesses valued at between £2m and £10m, an area of the market under-represented by established funding providers. We believe significant opportunities can be found in these companies which have the potential to produce significant cash generation and capital repayment and a robust and steadily growing dividend stream.
Investment philosophy
We target companies that can be found in the ‘stem’ of the glass.
Portfolio companies
Macaulay Capital provides an attractive offering for our portfolio companies. We invest our own capital in deals and take a seat on the board. With significant board experience under our belt we try to add value as an investor and align interests with both investors and management teams. Our strategy varies from traditional private equity houses in that we do not fund acquisitions through excessive debt and our portfolio will not be primed for short term exit strategies.
Case studies
Hickton Group
” When Hickton’s founder looked to sell the company, the team now at Macaulay identified our leading position in a niche market, and a deal was negotiated by them with the vendor’s advisors. As partners, they’ve been very supportive and added significant value; helping strengthen the Board and identifying a number of acquisitions. The largest of these saw the founders of that company join the Hickton leadership team, ensuring succession for the next phase of the Group’s growth. Investors saw their holdings increase in value more than 3 times during this period and we’re delighted so many of them remain shareholders. ”

Qualification Check
” Having got Qualification Check up and running, we identified the team now at Macaulay as equity partners for the next stage of the company’s development. As a ‘first-time’ founder within a small business, I’ve found their input and experience invaluable. As well as identifying a Finance Director, to complement an earlier non-executive Board appointment, the Chelverton Investor Club shareholders backed us in a follow-on funding round and we’re now really well placed to capitalise on the exciting developments in our market place. ”
