CAIA Germany
Insights from the Lower Mid-Market: LP & GP Perspectives

CAIA Germany is hosting this discussion which takes a closer look at one of private equity’s most compelling yet often underexplored segments: the lower mid market buyout space. What makes this part of the market so attractive, and why are more investors turning their attention to it?

Join us to explore how value is really created at this level, from hands-on operational improvements to growth acceleration, and discuss how access, manager selection, and local networks play a critical role. Along the way, we will challenge common assumptions and share practical insights on where opportunities lie today and how investors can position themselves to capture them.
