Banca March, through its private equity management company March Private Equity, has reached the €60 million target size for its investment vehicle, March PE Secundarios I FCR. The fund is specifically focused on acquiring direct positions in private companies through GP-led secondary transactions and minority direct co-investments.
March PE Secundarios I FCR is a private equity fund with the clear objective of building, over an investment period of approximately two years, a diversified portfolio of around 15 middle-market companies. The fund’s geographic focus will be primarily Europe, with limited exposure to the United States. To execute this strategy, March Private Equity will be supported by a leading international investment advisory firm.
March Private Equity: More Than €1 Billion Under Management Through a Differentiated Model
Established in 2020, March Private Equity manages more than €1 billion through three Fund-of-Funds vehicles — March PE Global I, March PE Global II, and March PE Global III — as well as a dedicated investment vehicle based in Luxembourg.
Leveraging an extensive network of relationships with highly regarded private equity managers, the firm reviews a significant number of investment opportunities each year across primary and secondary fund investments, as well as co-investment transactions.
The success of its programs is based on four key differentiating factors: shareholder commitment (the Group is always the largest investor), exclusivity (the funds are distributed exclusively through Banca March), strong alignment of interests (management fees are charged on invested capital rather than committed capital), and conviction in the strategy (Banca March provides financing facilities of up to 50% of investor commitments).
Co-Investment: A Hallmark of Banca March’s Value Proposition
For more than two decades, co-investment has been one of the most distinctive pillars of Banca March’s business model. The bank has been a pioneer and leader in alternative investments through shared-investment strategies, whereby clients invest alongside the bank in the same opportunities.
This co-investment approach creates a direct alignment of interests between the institution and its clients and fosters long-term relationships built on trust. Taken as a whole, Banca March’s co-investment model is unique within the Spanish market and reflects the bank’s philosophy of sharing its expertise and investment capabilities with clients with a single objective: growing together.
Within the non-liquid co-investment segment, the bank selects illiquid assets — including venture capital, private equity, private debt, real estate, and infrastructure — to provide clients with access to investment opportunities that are less exposed to market volatility and capable of capturing long-term growth.
Through this approach, Banca March gives its clients access to investment strategies that would otherwise typically be reserved for large institutional investors.
Since 2008, the Group has committed more than €4.2 billion to illiquid assets alongside over 4,100 co-investors. Reflecting the confidence investors place in this model, one out of every three co-investors has participated in more than one transaction, investing in projects that have, on average, returned more than twice the capital invested in real-economy initiatives.
