About Copper Street Capital

Copper Street Capital is a specialist European financial services credit firm headquartered in London at 7 Curzon Street, Mayfair. The firm was established in July 2015 with its flagship fund launched in August 2016 by Jerry del Missier (former COO of Barclays), and operates as a partner-owned LLP led by del Missier (Founding Partner and CIO) and Sharon Whitehouse-Faux (Partner), positioned in the up-to-$500 million credit category per HFM 2025 awards.

Investment thesis

Copper Street Capital deploys capital through a single flagship liquid credit strategy, targeting concentrated, high-conviction credit investing primarily in subordinated debt of European bank capital structures via bottom-up credit analysis. The firm operates as a liquid credit and hedge fund strategy rather than a traditional buyout PE firm. Sector focus is financial services exclusively, spanning specialist and non-mainstream European banks and fintech-adjacent financials. Geographic deployment is Europe (European banks). The platform extracts value from overlooked European bank capital structures, led by a former top-tier bank COO.

Recent activity

As a liquid credit strategy with continuously traded positions, Copper Street Capital does not disclose discrete deal exits or control-buyout acquisitions. Notable 2024-2026 milestones include winning the HFM Performance Awards 2025 (credit long/short) and marking its 10-year anniversary in 2026. The platform continues active deployment across the European bank capital structures credit mandate. Detailed buyer names and multiple data available on Pro at €29/month.
