Funds management

Our funds management platform offers institutional investors access to high conviction investment strategies focused on Critical Minerals and Critical Technologies through a ‘hands-on’ approach.

We exist to build enduring wealth and trust - using expert capability to commercialise tough technology, drive resource efficient, and help industry become more responsible and resilient.

Critical Technologies

Within our portfolios, we refer to Critical Technologies as Tough Tech – a term that better captures the depth and tangible potential of what we invest in.

Defining Tough Tech

Tough Tech is the intersection of breakthrough science and large-scale commercial application. While many startups focus on digital convenience, Tough Tech tackles the problems that can’t be solved in code – the deep and physical challenges that underpin a changing world.

As specialised investors, we provide the patient capital and technical insight required to bring these frontier technologies from the laboratory to the global market. We don’t just fund companies; we help build the infrastructure of tomorrow.

The Power Of Tough Tech

Tough Tech addresses the world’s most complex challenges across the energy transition, resource scarcity and infrastructure resilience. These aren’t just software updates, they are physical breakthroughs that require significant capital and expertise to build, but offer unparalleled, long term value.

Beyond Incrementalism: We solve the massive, consequential hurdles that software alone cannot fix.
Durable Impact: A proven path toward lasting structural change and sustainable industrial growth.
Economic Leadership: The nations and industries that pioneer Tough Tech will define the next era of global leadership, creating resilient, innovation-driven economies.

Critical Minerals

Everything that is not grown is mined. High-conviction exposure to mining assets poised to benefit disproportionately from structural market realignment. Decarbonisation depends not only on what we mine but how we mine it.

Ore grades are declining globally – which means mining companies are mining and processing more tones for the same output which raises costs, increases energy, water and reagent use, pressures ESG and social license.
It is increasingly recognised that mining is essential to our modern way of life, from the critical minerals in our phones to solving the challenge of decarbonisation it all relies on mining as a fundamental input.
RFC Ambrian is best placed with our mining roots (unique know how, expert capability) being at the forefront of mining technology to help fund and define future fit mining.

Deep Experience and an ESG Focus

RFC Ambrian has developed a reputation as a trusted advisor to the natural resources, energy and heavy industrial sectors since 1985. We have a proven track record of specialist advice for our clients with a history of growing businesses that can meaningfully reduce the industry’s environmental impact.

We are acutely sensitive to reputational matters and believe poor environmental and societal outcomes lead to poor returns. Our ESG focus ensures that we will only invest in in opportunities with environmentally and socially responsible mining and operational practises. We will actively engage with our investee companies to continually drive positive ESG outcomes.

Opportunity

The energy transition is accelerating, and is not just about emissions but energy security. As industrial emitters exhaust easy-to-abate emissions, they will increasingly depend on new technologies to tackle the hard-to-abate processes standing between them and net-zero. Meeting that demand - across both energy and critical minerals - will require a step change in the technologies that underpin the entire supply chain.

Success stories

We have applied our expertise of developing disruptive technology companies, and expanded our industries of focus. We look for opportunities across the heavy industries, with a particular emphasis on decarbonisation technologies or those that have a dramatic improvement in efficiency of a process.
