About CBPE Capital
CBPE Capital is a UK and Ireland mid-market private equity firm with approximately £1.6 billion of assets under management as of December 2024 (with Fund XI closing at £714 million hard cap in 2025), headquartered in London. The firm was founded in 1984 as Close Brothers Private Equity before becoming an independent buyout in 2009. CBPE remains a partner-owned independent LLP with a 40 plus year continuous UK mid-cap buyout franchise.
Investment thesis
CBPE deploys capital through 11 active fund vintages (Fund X 2021, Fund XI closed April 2025 at £714 million), targeting UK and Ireland primary buyouts in cash-generative growth companies with enterprise values up to £175 million. Sector focus spans business services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, financial services, technology, industrials and consumer and leisure, with geographic deployment concentrated on UK and Ireland mid-market opportunities. The primary-buyout discipline combined with high mid-cap repeat-conversion track record reflects the platform's long-tenured team and disciplined sourcing approach.
