Muzinich & Co is pleased to announce the first close of the Muzinich Pan-European II Private Debt Fund (\u201cthe Fund\u201d), at \u20ac210mn[[As of August 10th, 2020.]].<\/p>\n
Like its predecessor vehicle, the Fund focuses on providing growth capital to lower middle-market companies to fund acquisitions, expansions and transitions in family and founder-owned businesses. The Fund follows on the successful \u20ac706.5mn. closing of the firm\u2019s first Pan-European Private Debt Fund in 2018. The firm has been active in European private debt since 2014 when local regional teams started investing in country specific funds. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are one of the very few private lenders in the lower-middle market with a Pan-European offering,\u201d<\/em> said Kirsten Bode, Co-Head of Private Debt, Pan-Europe. \u201cAs the dynamics underlying this asset class continue to shift considerably, we believe our large, dedicated team of investment professionals and a local presence across Europe gives us a significant advantage in accessing a broad and diverse market in order to generate attractive returns for our investors.\u201d<\/em> Rafael Torres, Co-Head of Private Debt, Pan-Europe, added \u201cWe believe the local presence provides us with an edge to uncover companies with favourable credit characteristics to those of the broad EU private debt market.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Muzinich\u2019s Global Private Debt team is comprised of 36 dedicated investment professionals[[Including Springrowth, a wholly owned subsidiary of Muzinich & Co. Limited.]] located in 11 offices across Europe, US and Asia Pacific for comprehensive, in-depth knowledge of local opportunities, company networks, regulations and practices. Team members work directly within their local markets to deliver on-the-ground deal sourcing and origination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like its predecessor vehicle, the Fund focuses on providing growth capital to lower middle-market companies to fund acquisitions, expansions and transitions in family and founder-owned businesses.
