RCP Announces 2023 Manager of the Year

RCP Advisors Names WestView Capital Partners 2023 Manager of the Year

April 9, 2024 – WestView Capital Partners, a private equity firm that focuses on growth companies spanning the healthcare, technology, business, and industrial services sectors, has been awarded RCP Advisors’ 2023 Manager of the Year.

While this award is for 2023, WestView has been an RCP investment partner for over 15 years and has distinguished itself as an exemplary manager throughout this relationship. WestView embodies the best of what RCP seeks in a GP: a strong team and culture, a unique and compelling investment strategy, and consistently strong investment returns. WestView’s control-agnostic strategy of partnering with the founders and management of growing companies in their targeted sectors resonates with owners and managers (who are typically strongly aligned with WestView as meaningful ongoing equity partners). WestView’s core investment tenets – focused on thematic targeting of tailwind industry sectors, conservative use of leverage, and ownership flexibility – enabled them to shine in 2023 with five new platform investments and four very successful exits. In addition, WestView quickly and successfully raised their fifth fund in early 2023; RCP was again delighted to support their continued success.

“RCP Advisors has been an outstanding long-term investment and thought partner for WestView since we started the firm in 2004, and we’re incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award for our team’s body of work in not only 2023 but over the years. On behalf of the five of us here from the start, Rick, Carlo, John, Jonathan and myself, we are extremely proud of our entire team and RCP’s recognition of our collective accomplishments.”

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. There can be no assurance that a fund will achieve comparable results as any prior investments or prior investment funds of RCP. Source: RCP Advisors. *“Committed capital” primarily reflects the capital commitments associated with our SMAs, focused commingled funds, and advisory accounts advised by RCP since the firm’s inception in 2001 (including funds that have since been sold, dissolved, or wound down). We include capital commitments in our calculation of committed capital if (a) we have full discretion over the investment decisions in an account or have responsibility or custody of assets or (b) we do not have full discretion to make investment decisions but play a role in advising the client on asset allocation, performing investment manager due diligence and recommending investments for the client’s portfolio and/or monitoring and reporting on their investments. For our discretionary SMAs and commingled funds, as well as for our non-discretionary advisory accounts for which RCP is responsible for advising on all investments within the client’s portfolio, committed capital is calculated based on aggregate capital commitments to such accounts. For non-discretionary accounts where RCP is responsible for advising only a portion of the client portfolio investments, committed capital is calculated as capital commitments by the client to those underlying investments which were made based on RCP’s recommendation or with respect to which RCP advises the client. Committed capital does not include (i) non-discretionary advisory accounts no longer under advisement by RCP, (ii) assets managed or advised by the Private Capital Unit or HB Units of RCP 2, (iii) capital commitments to funds managed or sponsored by RCP’s affiliated (but independently operated) management companies, and (iv) RCP’s ancillary products or services.
