Associated Capital Group (AC) is to launch Gabelli Private Equity Partners (GPEP), a new private equity investment management business focused on leveraged buyouts and restructuring of small and mid-sized companies.
GPEP will be funded with up to USD150 million of the Company’s capital.
“GPEP is a logical extension of Gabelli’s investment platform based on our 40 year history of valuing companies on a private market value basis. As further background, in the mid-80’s, we launched a private equity fund, Gabelli-Rosenthal, which had in excess of USD300 million of capital (in today’s dollars).”
