MidOcean Partners

MidOcean Partners was established in February 2003 when the management team of DB Capital Partners led a buyout of Deutsche Bank's late-stage private equity investments in the U.S. and Europe. This transaction was one of the largest private equity secondary market deals at the time, valued at approximately 1.5 billion Euros. The firm has since evolved into a prominent alternative asset manager focusing on mid-sized companies and leveraged investments.

The firm's investment history includes a diverse range of sectors, with a particular emphasis on consumer brands, business services, and industrial platforms. Over the years, MidOcean has executed notable exits, such as the sale of Jenny Craig and Water Pik, often achieving significant returns for its investors. In 2021, the firm sold a minority stake in itself to Hunter Point Capital to support its continued growth.

MidOcean remains active in the middle market, recently acquiring companies like Arnott Industries and GSTV. The firm is governed by a strategy of targeting mid-sized private equity opportunities and managing alternative credit or leveraged investment products.
