Founded in 1984, CBPE Capital manages a series of five funds that focus on lower middle-market companies with enterprise value. The firm is selective in its investments, making only a small number of carefully researched investments each year and prioritizing relationships with management. CBPE Capital provides ongoing financial support and know-how to its portfolio companies, and over 50% of its investments have made acquisitions after the initial investment. The firm takes a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to identifying investment opportunities and working with management teams.
