Ufenau Capital Partners has held the final close of Ufenau VI German Asset Lights – plus parallel funds – at EUR560 million hard cap.
Ufenau Capital Partners is a small cap private equity firm investing in German-speaking Europe. It invests predominantly in succession situations of asset light businesses in the sectors business services, healthcare, education & lifestyle and financial services. Such profitable business models will be further augmented by both organic growth initiatives and a systematic buy and build approach which has led to strong investment results.
In the course of the past six years since its first institutional fundraising, Ufenau has significantly grown its team to a total of five partners and more than 20 investment professionals overall. This team is further supported by more than 50 industry partners, who are also investors in Ufenau’s fund.
On the back of its successful investment strategy and institutionalization of the firm, Ufenau has again been able to attract a first class investor base for its new fund. It now comprises investors from Europe, USA and Asia across all investor types (insurance companies, pension funds, fund of funds, family offices, endowments, banks and private individuals). Ufenau today manages a total of over EUR 900 million of commitments over 3 fund generations.
Following the two successful prior fundraises, AXON Partners has again been mandated by Ufenau to act as exclusive placement agent for the fundraising of Ufenau VI.
