Reservoir Media (RSVR)

The company also operates in recorded music, which relates to master recordings rather than the underlying compositions. This side of the business can generate revenue from digital streaming platforms, physical and digital sales, neighbouring rights, and licensing opportunities. In addition, Reservoir has activities in artist and songwriter management and maintains a rights management presence in the Middle East, giving it exposure to regions where music markets and royalty infrastructure continue to develop.

Reservoir’s model is built around catalog ownership and long-term rights administration. Unlike a traditional record label that depends heavily on new releases, a music rights company can benefit from older songs and recordings that continue to be used and discovered across streaming services and media platforms. The company’s Music Publishing segment accounts for the largest share of revenue, reflecting the importance of composition rights in its portfolio.

For investors, Reservoir represents exposure to the expanding monetisation of music copyrights, including streaming growth, synchronisation licensing, and global royalty collection. Its independent status is also distinctive in an industry dominated by major music groups, allowing it to compete through catalog acquisitions, creator relationships, and specialised rights management.
