Ridgemont Equity Partners

Ridgemont Equity Partners is a private equity firm that focuses on middle-market investments. The firm was formed in 2010 through a spinout from Bank of America, where the team previously operated as BAML Capital Partners. Its roots trace back to 1993 with the formation of Bank of America Capital Investors.

The firm targets equity investments in several core industries, including basic industrial, energy, healthcare, and TMT (telecommunications, media, and technology). Since 1993, Ridgemont and its predecessor entities have invested more than $4.4 billion of equity capital.

Historically, the firm's lineage involves the integration of Bank of America Capital Investors (BACI) and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity (MLGPE) following the merger of their respective parent banks. While MLGPE focused on large leveraged buyouts, the current Ridgemont team operates with a focus on middle-market equity investments up to $250 million.
