Metric Capital Partners: Successful Close of Fifth Fund at EUR 1 Billion
Funding | 13 May 2025 | Metric Capital Partners LLP
Metric Capital Partners LLP, a pan-European private capital investment firm, has successfully closed its fifth fund, MCP V, along with its ancillary vehicles, with total commitments reaching EUR 1 billion. Established in 2011, Metric focuses on providing unique capital solutions for companies that need alternatives to traditional debt or equity financing. The firm has invested in 46 companies spanning various sectors and geographies. MCP V received commitments from a diverse set of institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds and family offices, and features a balanced geographic representation across North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The fund's success is attributed to Metric's distinctive investment strategy which offers flexible capital to ambitious companies planning transformational initiatives, while benefitting from downside protection and retaining upside potential. During the past 18 months, the firm achieved significant success with four exits from its third and fourth funds and has already commenced investments from MCP V in three European companies. Despite a challenging fundraising environment, Metric's ability to create substantial returns for investors has set a strong momentum for its latest fund.
