The case for lower mid-market PE

Munich Private Equity Partners (MPEP) is one of Europe's leading specialists for private equity fund investments in the lower mid-market segment, overseeing €2.7bn in assets. As a pure-play investment boutique with just one product line in one asset class, MPEP focuses exclusively on primary buyout funds in Europe and North America. Since its inception in 2011, the firm has made more than 100 fund investments, 95% of which were significantly oversubscribed.

In 2026, 59Capital Partners entered into a collaboration with a Munich-based specialist asset manager, giving Nordic institutional investors direct access to a pure-play GP dedicated to lower mid-market buyout investments.
