Buyout Firm Main Capital Sees Soaring US Demand for Europe Deals

Main Capital, a Dutch buyout firm focused on software deals, is pushing to more than double its assets under management to €15 billion ($17.5 billion) in the next three years, betting on rising demand from US investors for European assets.

The private equity firm, which currently manages about €6.8 billion, plans to open an office in London next year to help US investors seeking out investment opportunities in the region, Chief Executive Officer Charly Zwemstra said in an interview in The Hague, where the firm is based. The firm already has offices in Boston, Paris, Stockholm, and Düsseldorf.
