Metric Capital Partners
“Can a pan-European hybrid private capital manager scale flexible cross-capital-structure lending to mid-market companies across 20 European countries from a six-office platform?”
Founded in 2011, Metric Capital Partners pioneered a pan-European flexible capital strategy that invests across the capital structure — from senior debt to subordinated and equity-linked instruments — for mid-market companies with enterprise values of €50–500 million. The firm built a six-office network spanning London, Madrid, Munich, Paris, Stockholm, and Luxembourg, and has raised five funds with over €3.7 billion in AUM across 48 investments in 20 countries. Unlike a traditional private equity or pure credit fund, it operates as a hybrid private capital provider, combining downside protection with alignment of entrepreneur and investor objectives. The embedded finance footprint is limited to operational FX/cross-border needs (evidenced by Ebury's customer listing) rather than any fintech product offering.
