One Equity Partners (“OEP”) makes private equity investments behind compelling business ideas and strong management teams. Established in 2001, OEP manages $5 billion of investments and commitments for JPMorgan Chase & Co. in direct private equity transactions. Partnering with management, OEP invests in transactions that initiate strategic and operational changes in businesses to create long-term value. OEP’s investment professionals are located across North America and Europe, with offices in New York, Chicago and Frankfurt.

Through our committed pool of capital, One Equity Partners acts as a lead equity investor in management-led buyouts, and growth capital financing with a particular emphasis on corporate partnerships and divestitures. OEP typically invests $50 million to $200 million per transaction but historical investments have ranged from $20 million to over $300 million.

We are constantly looking for companies in growing or changing industries and management teams who share our creative approach to commerce. We believe that our capital is best used to help these managers change their businesses and achieve their goals. Our sole funding relationship with JP Morgan Chase & Co. enables us to be as patient as needed to achieve success.

Over recent years, OEP has invested approximately $3.5 billion to acquire over thirty companies in a variety of industries including defense, chemicals, healthcare, technology and manufacturing. Representative current companies include Quintiles, Mauser Werke, Progress Rail, LBC, and Cybertrust. To date, OEP has led all of these transactions.
