Investment thesis
Rubicon emphasizes a collaborative, versatile partnership model with the management teams of the companies it backs. It believes alignment drives effective capitalization, structuring its investments to support a shared plan while minimizing the use of debt, which it sees as limiting the flexibility companies need to succeed. To reinforce this alignment, Rubicon uses only common equity structures rather than complex preferred arrangements, aiming to keep the firm and its portfolio teams working toward the same goals.
