Ridgepost Capital Reports Strong Q3 2026 Growth with Record Fundraising
Ridgepost Capital, Inc. (RPC) delivered a robust third quarter for 2026, highlighted by a 21% year-over-year increase in fee-paying assets under management (AUM), reaching $35.2 billion. The company achieved record year-to-date gross fundraising and deployment of nearly $4.5 billion, driven significantly by strong performance across its Venture Capital, Private Equity, and Private Credit segments. Financial stability remains a key theme as fee-related earnings rose 19% to $43 million, maintaining a stable FRE margin near 48%. While seasonality caused a slight dip in the core fee rate this quarter, management issued optimistic full-year guidance of 103 basis points. The company is also actively managing its balance sheet, targeting a reduction in net leverage to the mid-2s by year-end while continuing share repurchases.
