Maghreb Private Equity Fund II
MPEF II invests primarily in Morocco and Tunisia and opportunistically in Algeria. The investment size is typically EUR 2.0 - 7.0 million. MPEF II strategy is to take active minority or majority positions in companies, usually with representation on their board of directors and other appropriate means. MPEF II targets industries such as manufacturing and agribusiness, pharmaceuticals, technology and telecommunications, distribution and retailing, transportation and financial services. Its focus is on middle-market family businesses in need of professionalisation and succession planning to grow into regional players. Another tenet of MPEF II strategy is to partner with foreign companies seeking to enter the region. The objective is to exit investments within four to seven years through initial public offerings, strategic sales and management buy-outs.
