Eaton Partners has served as the placement agent for MCH Private Equity’s fourth middle market private equity fund – MCH Iberian Capital Fund IV – which has held a final close at its hard cap of EUR350 million.
MCH Private Equity, founded in 1998 by José María Muñoz and Jaime Hernández Soto, invests in diverse economic sectors including specialised machinery and industries, services, consumer products and distribution among others.
The oversubscribed fund experienced significant demand with support from a diverse range of institutional investors. Eaton Partners, a Stifel Company, served as adviser and exclusive fund placement agent.
“We are very pleased to have closed our fourth institutional private equity fund with commitments from new and returning partners,” says Muñoz. “Spain is the growth engine of Europe and, with over 5,000 middle market companies, there is significant opportunity for experienced private equity investors to add value and take companies to the next level.”
“The successful raise of MCH Private Equity’s fourth fund amid a challenging marketplace in Europe speaks volumes about the experience and strong track record of the firm and the opportunities investors see in Spanish middle-market companies,” says Gianluca D’Angelo, managing director and head of Europe at Eaton Partners.
