NEW YORK – April 4, 2023 — MidOcean Partners (“MidOcean”), a premier New York-based alternative asset manager specializing in middle-market private equity and alternative credit investments, today announced the successful close of its most recent private equity fund, MidOcean Partners VI, LP (“Fund VI”), with over $1.5 billion in capital commitments, making it MidOcean’s largest fund since inception.

To date, MidOcean has deployed 15% of Fund VI’s capital across two investments.
Ted Virtue, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MidOcean Partners, said, “We are grateful for the strong support we received for Fund VI from both new and existing investors, and thank them for putting their trust in MidOcean. Given our proven investment approach and deep bench of talent – both internally and across our dedicated group of highly engaged operating partners – we are confident we can generate risk-adjusted returns, even amid volatile market conditions.”
Erik Oken, MidOcean’s Chairman of Private Equity, added, “Our methodical, theme-driven approach has enabled us to generate a strong pipeline of attractive investment opportunities. We will continue to prudently deploy capital into our targeted sub-sectors with an eye on delivering transformative results across our portfolio.”
