Permanent capital
for enduring
catalogs.
North Vale is a dedicated music rights investment vehicle. We acquire publishing, master recording and neighbouring rights from artists, songwriters, producers and independent labels — and steward them for the long term.
Long-duration capital. Artist-first terms. Institutional discipline.
Music is a durable, globally consumed asset class — undervalued by sellers who need liquidity today.
The shift to streaming has transformed recorded music into one of the most predictable, long-duration cash-flow assets in global media. Evergreen catalogs compound across decades; the best of them continue to grow long after their creators have moved on.
Yet most rights holders still face the same problem: the value of their catalog is trapped. Waiting twenty years for royalty statements is not a financial plan. Traditional lenders do not understand the collateral. Majors want control but not stewardship.
North Vale was built to sit in that gap — with the patience of a permanent-capital vehicle, the discipline of an institutional investor, and the instincts of people who have spent their careers in music.
Long-duration capital
We are not a fund with a five-year clock. We hold catalogs for the long term and are structured to pay fair value today without forcing a future exit.
Artist-first terms
Stewardship is not a marketing line. We respect the work, the legacy and the relationships that built each catalog — and we document it in every deal.
Institutional discipline
Every acquisition runs through the same rigorous diligence process: rights verification, earnings audit, valuation, legal review — no exceptions.
We buy income-producing music rights — full or partial, active or dormant.
If it generates royalties and you own it, there is a good chance we are interested. Structures are flexible by design.

worth keeping alive,
we would like to hear about it.
All conversations are confidential. There is no obligation at any stage of our process until both sides sign a definitive agreement.
