POELLATH advises EOS Partners GmbH on the final closing of its second generation fund EOS II

The Munich based private equity firm EOS Partners GmbH (“EOS”) has successfully held the final closing of its second generation fund EOS II at its hard-cap of EUR 300 million complemented by a significant GP commitment. Despite an overall challenging fundraising environment, the fund closed at its hard-cap within five months and was in excess of two times oversubscribed. The fund’s investor base includes existing as well as new highly regarded institutional investors from the United States, Europe and the Middle East.

EOS II pursues an attractive sector-thematic investment approach focusing on buy-and-build & boost buyouts on the back of secular mega-trends and thus will continue its path of redefining growth in the DACH region. These investments will primarily target appealing verticals of the software/IT, healthcare and industrial technology sectors, partnering with exceptional companies to achieve their ambitious growth objectives.
