About Us
Investment Strategy
Fastnet Capital’s investment strategy is to build a prudently managed, diversified portfolio of investments which deliver an endowment-style return profile. We invest globally in a diversified set of liquid assets, including public equities and fixed income products, as well as private equity funds and other alternative asset classes.
​
Direct Private Equity
Fastnet Capital’s legacy is as a direct investor in private businesses, principally in Ireland and the UK, where we have demonstrated a track record of building world-class businesses.
​
Ulric has been investing in private businesses since 2001, and exclusively for Fastnet Capital since 2010. During that time, he has supported the growth of several businesses, including SWS Energy, Ocean Media, Southwestern Services, Nua Healthcare and Yuno Energy.
​
Our investment strategy in direct private equity is to be a highly engaged owner, seeking to transform businesses through deep strategic and operational input. We invest only our own capital and sit in direct partnership with the founders and management teams we support, offering our experience and expertise in building strategic value for all owners.
​
Our motivation as a private owner of businesses is long-term shareholder value creation, aimed at high returns but without excessive risk. Unlike a private equity fund, we do not seek to realise value from our companies within any particular time frame. We are happy to be a long-term owner of great businesses.
