Thesis
Round Hill Music LP is a private equity firm founded in 2010 that specializes in acquiring, managing, and monetizing music copyrights. Their core strategy is to invest in revenue-generating music copyright assets, primarily focusing on 'older, time-tested and very durable copyrights' and 'evergreen songs' with proven commercial success and low volatility. While historically focused on established artists, their recent strategy, as seen in Fund IV, includes allocating 20% to newer artists and songwriters to attract investors seeking higher risk and return potential. The firm operates through a series of private equity funds and has deployed over $1.1 billion in capital, managing approximately $900 million in music rights assets as of March 2025. They have a global presence with offices in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, and London. Their funds have ranged in size, with Fund IV targeting $500 million. Acquisitions have been substantial, with examples like Carlin Music for $245 million and Carlin America for $250 million.
