Investment Opportunities

Main Capital Partners is able to generate ca. 150 investment opportunities per year within the focus areas.

Nearly 20% is ‘proprietary dealflow’ which allows us to take advantage of unique investment opportunities in the market. This enables us to be critical and select only those opportunities with exceptional risk/returns profiles.

Commitment Fund Manager

Main Capital Partners will commit 5% of the Main Capital III from own financial resources. We believe this is a substantial commitment for the Fund Manager and thereby aligns its interest with the Investors in the Fund.

Furthermore, the Fund Manager only has a share in any profit of the fund in case Investors have been repaid their full invested capital plus 7% preferred dividend per year.
