Spanish lower-mid-market firm GED Capital has held a €100m first close for its new private equity vehicle GED VI España.
The fund was launched at the beginning of March with a €175m target.
Its predecessor, GED V España, which held a final close on €150m in December 2017, is now fully deployed across seven companies (Procubitos Europe, Discefa, Araven, GTT, Vitro, Enso and Eliance) and 12 bolt-ons.
Investors
The vehicle's LP base is mainly composed of Spanish and international institutional investors, primarily insurance companies, pension funds and family offices. All LPs from GED V España re-upped in the new fund.
Investments
GED VI España plans to make 8-10 investments in Spanish small and medium-sized companies with high growth potential, operating in manufacturing and industrial sectors, and generating EBITDA in the €3-7m range.
It will deploy equity tickets between €15-20m to acquire primarily majority but also minority stakes via buyouts and growth capital deals.
