ECI Partners, a growth-focused mid-market private equity firm, has had a strong 12 months, completing 10 exits and generating an average gross return of 4.2x over the last year.
Together, these exits delivered £1.3 billion of proceeds, and include the recent sale of MiQ, one of the largest global programmatic media partners, for a 6.1x return following a five-year partnership that saw MiQ execute an ambitious North American expansion strategy.
Other recent exits include Bionic, the marketplace for SME services, for a 4.8x return, with Bionic successfully making six acquisitions during ECI’s investment, and Content+Cloud, leading technology services business, digital transformation partner and managed services provider, for a 4.1x return, following strong organic and acquisitive growth during its partnership.
The results come on the back of the private equity firm’s expansion into the United States with an office in New York to support the international growth aspirations of its portfolio.
