Description

MCH Private Equity is a well-established independent private equity firm based in Madrid, Spain, with a dedicated focus on the Iberian middle market. Since its inception in 1998, MCH has demonstrated a consistent ability to attract capital, successfully raising over €1.2 billion across six distinct funds. This significant capital base underscores its prominent position within the Spanish and Portuguese private equity landscape, reflecting a long-term commitment to the region's growth companies.

The firm's investment strategy targets leading companies within their respective sectors, emphasizing those with robust growth potential, achievable through both organic expansion and strategic acquisitions. MCH specifically looks for businesses with an Enterprise Value (EV) ranging from €50 million to €300 million. Within this target EV range, MCH typically commits equity investments between €20 million and €70 million per company, translating to approximately $21.6 million to $75.6 million USD based on recent exchange rates. This approach allows them to acquire significant stakes in established, yet growing, businesses.

MCH's fundraising success continued with its most recent vehicle, MCH VI, which closed in 2022 with total commitments reaching €400 million. This followed the successful close of its predecessor, MCH V, in 2019, which secured €350 million. The consistent increase in fund sizes from MCH V to MCH VI reflects strong investor confidence and the firm's expanding capacity to execute larger transactions within its target market. These funds enable MCH to provide substantial capital for buyouts, growth equity, and recapitalizations, further cementing its role as a key player in the Iberian private equity scene.
