Project Description
Mediterra Capital Partners I, LP (the “Fund”) is a closed end private equity fund that will make investments in small to midsized private Turkish enterprises. The target fund size is € 200 million, and the first closing of €100 million was held on May 27, 2011, therefore the final closing is on May 27, 2012 (with a potential 6 month extension subject to LP Advisory Board approval). The Fund expects to make 10 to 15 investments in various sectors, including: retail, education, healthcare, industrials, automotives and logistics. Approximately 60-70% of investments will be in Istanbul and Marmara, approximately 30-40% will be in Anatolian cities, where SMEs are often underserved for equity capital. The Fund will allocate a minimum of €20 million, or 16.7% of its commitments (whichever is greater) to SMEs.
