About Us
RedPoint Capital (RPC) is McGill’s first and only finance club that focuses on alternative asset class investing and careers. The organization is structured as a multi-program investment fund covering 4 main themes: private equity, special situations, real assets, and global macro investing.
Analysts join one of four sectors based on their interests and build expertise through a four-part program of research projects, training, firm mandates, and industry forums. This immersive experience provides practical knowledge of alternative asset classes not covered in McGill’s academics or extracurriculars. The program fosters a stimulating environment where members connect with peers passionate about alternative investments, explore unconventional asset classes, and gain the tools needed for professional success.
Investment Themes
Private Equity
The Private Equity group explores investments in non-public companies, combining financial analysis with operational strategies to drive returns. Members study investment approaches, analyze transactions, and run mock public takeovers. The group also prepares students for careers across growth equity, buyout funds, search funds, and operating roles in sponsor-backed companies.
Special Situations
The Special Situations group focuses on investment opportunities driven by unique market events, including activist campaigns, distressed debt, and recapitalizations. Members go beyond traditional analysis, considering factors like institutional constraints and game theory. The group also prepares students for careers in restructuring investment banking, activist hedge funds, and arbitrage trading.
Real Assets
The Real Assets group covers private investments in real estate, infrastructure, and land. Members explore diverse strategies, execute mock transactions, and deepen their understanding of acquisitions and asset management. The group also prepares students for careers in real asset acquisition, management, underwriting, and related fields.
Global Macro
The Global Macro group analyzes central bank policy, macroeconomic trends, and markets from sovereign debt to digital assets. Members study monetary policy and its impact across asset classes while sharpening critical thinking and trend-spotting skills. Each semester, the group pitches at least one trade idea based on macroeconomic analysis—for example, how $17 trillion in negative-yielding bonds influences gold.
