MidOcean Partners

MidOcean Partners was established in February 2003 following a management buyout of Deutsche Bank's late-stage private equity investments in the United States and Europe. The transaction, valued at 1.5 billion euro, was one of the largest private equity secondary market deals at the time and involved a consortium of major institutional investors including AlpInvest Partners and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.

The firm focuses on mid-sized private equity and alternative leveraged investments. Over its history, MidOcean has built a diverse portfolio across various consumer and business services sectors, frequently engaging in both acquisitions and successful liquidations of significant assets. In late 2021, Hunter Point Capital acquired a minority stake in the firm.

Notable activity includes the successful turnaround and sale of Jenny Craig for five times its purchase price and the multi-billion dollar liquidation of inherited Deutsche Bank portfolios. The firm continues to be an active acquirer in the middle market, recently targeting sectors such as automotive aftermarkets, professional training, and niche media platforms.
