Overview
Rho Fund Investors ("RFI") is the division of
Rho that invests in private equity funds on a global basis,
with an emphasis
on venture capital and other specialized private equity funds whose
strategies afford unique advantages, such as domain expertise,
operational expertise or focus on a particularly attractive sector.
Since 1981, RFI has successfully committed to, and realized substantial
returns from, private equity funds across numerous sectors and
through a wide variety of economic cycles, committing in excess
of $2.1 billion to over 140 venture capital and specialized growth
buyout funds.
RFI also draws extensively on its relationship with Rho Ventures,
the division of Rho that manages a series of venture capital funds
that have invested in approximately 200 early stage companies
in information technology, communications, new media, healthcare
and energy technology
since 1981, to access and diligence other venture fund managers.
As a result of
this experience, RFI has developed significant knowledge, expertise
and relationships across the private
equity industry. RFI benefits from Rho’s unique access
to investment opportunities and information flow, the Members’ extensive
private equity expertise, and Rho’s integrated investment
approach and disciplined, value-driven investment culture,
with demonstrated access to leading private equity funds.
RFI is currently committing a $600 million fund investment
program.
