N+1 raises €100m for latest fund
Spanish investor N+1 has held a €100m first close for QMC II Iberian Capital Fund.
The vehicle will invest in mid-cap listed companies in Spain and Portugal, and has a €150m target.
Investors
QMC II has so far received capital commitments from 21 investor groups, including family offices and institutional investors, 55% of which are international.
Investments
The vehicle will acquire significant minority interests of 5-20% in listed Spanish and Portuguese companies, emulating the strategy of the preceding vehicle QMC I. To date, the preceding fund has generated an aggregate gain of €58m through disposals valued at an overall €150m.
Companies with a market capitalisation of less than €1bn with prospects for organic and M&A-led growth will be the fund's focus.
A portfolio of around five to seven firms will be pursued. The investor intends to reap returns from the current share price penalisation suffered due to turmoil in Spanish capital markets.
