Quantum Capital Partners closes its second fund with a hard cap of 77.5 million euros after a closed-circle fundraising. Quantum Capital Partners now has two funds with total assets under management of 135 million euros. Founded in 2008 by banker and distressed asset investor Steffen Görig, Quantum launched its first institutional fund at the end of 2014 after years of exclusively investing its own capital. With additional capital and an expanded team, the Munich-based investment firm will continue to invest in challenging situations and complex divestiture opportunities in Continental Europe. Triago served as advisor for both the fundraising of the first fund and the new fund.

Since its inception, Quantum has achieved outstanding returns through majority stakes in Western European companies, with a focus on neglected production departments divested from major corporations. Over the years, the investment firm has strengthened, restructured, and expanded a variety of divisions acquired from renowned companies such as Arconic, Henkel, Norsk Hydro, Robert Bosch, and others. Quantum mainly invests in corporate divisions or subsidiaries with annual revenues ranging from 30 to 400 million euros.

"We currently manage a portfolio of companies with a total revenue of over 1 billion euros, utilizing both our financial and operational expertise," says Quantum founder and managing director Steffen Görig. "We are particularly interested in complex carve-outs, spin-offs, and distressed deals with significant potential for improvement, as the associated financial and operational challenges mean we have substantial value enhancement opportunities and few capable competitors. The successful closing of our second fund is a flattering and very gratifying confirmation of our financial and operational acumen by the investors. We especially appreciate that all investors from Fund I are also participating in our second fund and even increasing their commitments."

As part of the Quantum Opportunity Fund II closing, Quantum announces promotions and new hires, expanding the team to 15 employees. Tilman Richter, previously a director, has been promoted to managing director. Francesco Rigamonti, senior advisor for Italy and the UK, previously served as managing director at Deutsche Bank in the private equity division; Sebastian Stalter, investment manager, previously an investment banker at Rothschild & Co; investment manager Stephan Schuster, previously M&A manager at Anticimex, a company within the Nordic private equity group EQT, as well as analysts Rasmus Dzwonek and Hendrik Eickmann. With current investments in Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, and Spain, Quantum will expand into other attractive markets, especially the Nordic countries, Benelux, and the UK, through the new hires.
