Welcome to SOPEP

After a long and successful working relationship, Sal. Oppenheim jr. & Cie., Europe’s largest independent private banking group, headquartered in Luxembourg, and the two fund of fund specialists CAM Private Equity, Cologne, and VCM Capital Management, Munich, have combined their private equity activities under the umbrella of Sal. Oppenheim Private Equity Partners S.A., or SOPEP, for short.

The joint strategic objective of this business merger is to create a global fund of funds manager for private equity and to develop it into one of the world’s leading competitors in this segment of alternative asset management.

On the basis of the current locations of the three companies involved, SOPEP will drive international expansion in Europe, the US and Asia – naturally without neglecting the existing client base in the German-speaking domestic market in the process. The decision in favour of basing the company in Luxembourg and the maintenance of operational offices in Amsterdam, Bangalore, Beijing, New York, Cologne, Copenhagen, Madrid, Munich and Paris highlight SOPEP’s mission of establishing a presence in all relevant private equity markets in the world. This will enable institutional and private investors to receive local support in their own regions in setting up, optimising and managing private equity and private debt portfolios.
