Relationship origination and strategic intelligence for investors, family offices and principals.

Unquiet Capital opens the doors that databases cannot, and pairs that access with rigorous geopolitical and macroeconomic analysis — so that insight becomes a decision, and a decision becomes an outcome.


I

Relationship Origination

Introductions that hold — to principals, family offices, fund partners and operators — made on the strength of two decades of earned trust rather than a contact list. Doors opened, counterparties understood, and transactions originated across private equity, alternative assets, technology and global capital markets.

II

Strategic Intelligence

Non-consensus geopolitical and macroeconomic analysis through the proprietary Alethia Framework™. Risks and opportunities that conventional research misses — identified, mapped, and extended to second- and third-order effects before they arrive.

III

Advisory

Bespoke counsel for family offices, funds and boards navigating geopolitical complexity, cross-border transactions and market inflection points. Delivered in person, under strict confidence, on terms that respect the weight of what is at stake.


The Alethia Framework™

A structured analytical system that filters global complexity through foundational macro lenses, strategic ordering principles and ten proprietary theses — then extends every signal through a Third-Order Effects Engine to anticipate cascading consequences.

The framework converts raw information into actionable intelligence: disciplined, differentiated, and designed for decision-makers who cannot afford to be surprised.

Beyond the Queue

Eighty-nine per cent of the energy capacity proposed in America's largest grid is never built. An analysis of 16,014 interconnection projects across four ISOs — and the regulatory map that decides which of them survive.


Nicholas Rhodes

Founder and Principal

For twenty years the work has been the same in three different rooms: earning the trust of people who can afford anyone, and turning it into decisions that hold.

In the art market, fifteen years placing significant contemporary works with private collectors, family offices and museums across ten countries — as co-founder of a London gallery and, later, as adviser to professional investors on alternative assets. He remains a collector.

In private equity, co-founder of a technology-led advisory firm built without outside capital in 2020 and exited by share buyout in 2024. Its anchor client was a US aerospace and defence sponsor with more than $5 billion under management, won directly from a founding partner; the work ran inside the data rooms of more than fifteen acquisition targets and portfolio companies across two funds, and into the sponsor's own investor reporting. The firm was a global top-ten finalist in the G20 Global Infrastructure Hub's InfraChallenge, and convened and moderated a panel at a Private Equity International forum in San Francisco in 2022.

Since 2025, through Unquiet Capital: non-consensus geopolitical and macroeconomic analysis for capital allocators through the Alethia Framework™; independent financial-document investigation drawn on by senior investigative journalists; and the origination of relationships across private equity, technology and alternative assets, from London to New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo.

Trusted by institutional investors, family offices and principals. Discreet by temperament.
