With Fund II, EMH can almost double the fund volume of its predecessor fund, which closed in 2017 at €350 million. The Munich-based investor, which now manages a total of over €1 billion, intends to use the capital to further expand its mid-market strategy.
EMH cooperates with owners of medium-sized, fast-growing companies with a proven and successful business model. The goal is to systematically and systematically leverage their growth potential through digitalization and other growth drivers. The regional focus is on the medium-sized markets in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH).
EMH’s portfolio includes companies such as Native Instruments (global market leader for digital instruments and music production), Occhio (market leader in the premium lighting segment) and Brainlab (global market leader for innovative, image-guided medical technology).
Fundraising goals achieved despite pandemic
According to EMH Partners, the new fund attracted a number of international investors. Geographically, the new fund's investors are divided between the DACH region (36 percent), the rest of Europe (39 percent), and North America (25 percent). In addition, the EMH team itself is invested in Fund II.
Maximilian Kuss, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, said:
"Despite the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have more than achieved all of our fundraising targets for the fund. EMH has built strong relationships with renowned and institutional investors. We are pleased that our investors have subscribed to the fund in large numbers despite the challenges posed by COVID-19. We also see this as an expression of the trust our partners have placed in us, putting us in a strong position to capitalize on the outstanding opportunities in the mid-market and further develop our strategy."
