Castlebar Capital

What Castlebar Capital does

Castlebar Capital LLP is a London-based alternative investment firm founded in 2023 that pursues a European event-driven strategy focused on M&A and event-driven credit opportunities across the capital structure. The firm targets hard catalyst events — situations where corporate actions, restructurings, or transaction processes are expected to drive asset prices — and aims to express these views through a multi-asset class approach. It is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (LLP registered number OC445484) and headquartered at 7 Stratford Place, London.

The firm operates with 1-10 employees under a private limited liability partnership structure and sells its investment products through a direct, relationship-led institutional sales motion targeting sophisticated investors, including institutions and high-net-worth clients. It has elected not to formally commit to the UK Stewardship Code and has decided not to comply with SRD II at the current time, reflecting a deliberately narrow regulatory footprint aligned with its specialised strategy. No proprietary technology, AI/ML systems, APIs, or product platforms are disclosed; the offering is purely an investment management service. Revenue, AUM, and fund-vehicle details are not publicly disclosed.

Separately, Castlebar Capital Corp. (TSXV: CBAR.P) — a TSX Venture Exchange-listed capital pool company sharing the Castlebar brand — entered into a letter of intent in March 2026 for a reverse take-over by Blockgration Holdings Inc., a fintech providing payment infrastructure and digital finance solutions. This transaction is a distinct corporate event involving the listed CPC vehicle, not the operating LLP, and is conditioned on Blockgration completing a concurrent financing of at least $5 million.
