QMC’s strategy is predicated on acquiring stable shareholdings in listed European mid-caps, generally capitalised at less than €1bn; investees display significant growth potential and scope for participation in looming sector consolidation. 

These funds stand out for the application to mid-caps of the proprietary know-how built up in private equity/venture investing, where N+1 has an extensive track record. Investments are substantial, usually over 5%, albeit always minority. And although QMC does not participate directly in the company’s day-to-day management, it does lend guidance to investee management teams with strategy, mainly through board representation and by making proposals devised to help create value. 

QMC has two funds up and running at present: (i) QMC Development Capital Fund, with an investment focus on Spain and Portugal, and (ii) EQMC Europe Development Capital Fund, which invests in European equities.
