Private Corner launches US Midcap Buyout Strategies, a private fund-of-funds focused on US mid-cap buyouts

Paris, 29 January 2026 — Private Corner, a French digital asset management company dedicated to private markets for private wealth professionals, announces the launch of US Midcap Buyout Strategies, a private equity fund-of-funds targeting the US mid-cap buyout segment—one of the deepest, most competitive and most selective markets in global private equity.

Private Corner provides private wealth professionals with a comprehensive range of investment funds dedicated to private markets—namely infrastructure, private debt, private equity, co-investments, and capital gain rollover solutions (apport-cession). To learn more, please contact us:

A strategic partnership to access a closed and highly selective market

The US mid-cap buyout market is characterised by exceptional depth, yet access remains particularly constrained. The majority of top-performing funds are materially oversubscribed, predominantly held by long-standing institutional investors, and are scarcely accessible without durable relationships and an on-the-ground presence.

Against this backdrop, Private Corner has entered into a cornerstone strategic partnership with Neuberger Berman—one of the leading global alternative asset managers—thereby securing recognised expertise and privileged access to this ecosystem.

Neuberger Berman acts as strategic adviser, responsible for origination and rigorous due diligence of investment opportunities. Final investment decisions remain exclusively within Private Corner’s remit, ensuring clear governance, independent selection, and strict alignment with investors’ interests. This framework reflects Private Corner’s DNA: drawing on best-in-class global specialists to navigate complex markets, while retaining full control over portfolio construction.

With more than $550bn in assets under management—including a Private Markets platform exceeding $150bn—Neuberger Berman is among the rare, fully independent global managers, combining a long-established presence in US private markets with a proven multi-strategy platform.

Neuberger’s scale enables it to sit on more than 470 limited partner advisory committees (LPACs). Since 2020, its teams have reviewed several hundred mid-cap funds and committed several billions of dollars to the segment.

An institutional-grade structure designed for private investors

US Midcap Buyout Strategies aims to invest across a select group of 5 to 10 US mid-cap funds, chosen for the quality of their teams, investment discipline, and long-term value creation track record.

Through this launch alongside Neuberger, Private Corner further advances its mission: enabling private investors to access world-class private markets expertise under institutional conditions.

Irrespective of the current environment in the United States, exposure to the US market remains a foundational pillar of long-term private markets allocations—provided it is approached with rigour, selectivity, and pedagogy, principles that sit at the core of Private Corner’s investment approach. In an increasingly uncertain macroeconomic context, it is all the more evident that US private markets allocations cannot be managed as if they were public market indices.

« The launch of this fund takes place against a macroeconomic backdrop marked by heightened political and trade uncertainty in the United States, driven in particular by increasingly protectionist policy orientations and the tariff measures currently being implemented. While these factors may generate short-term tensions in public markets, they also underscore the importance of a well-structured long-term allocation and robust manager selection expertise—values at the heart of the collaboration between Private Corner and Neuberger. Accessing a deeply institutional, closed, and intensely competitive market requires local expertise, established relationships, and a selection capability that few actors can mobilise. By working with Neuberger Berman, we are deploying an exacting institutional approach, faithful to Private Corner’s DNA and aligned with the expectations of our distribution partners. » Estelle Dolla, President of Private Corner
« We are delighted to support Private Corner in launching this new fund, which will allow private investors to complement their private markets allocations by gaining exposure to one of the most selective segments of global private equity. US mid-market buyouts are a strategy where local expertise, investment discipline, and the quality of relationships make all the difference. Leveraging its investment teams, recognised for rigorous analysis, Neuberger enables its clients to participate in historically resilient value creation—an opportunity that has, until now, very often been reserved for institutional investors. » Charles Soullard, Head of Sales, Neuberger France

US Midcap Buyout Strategies is expected to remain open for distribution through summer 2027.
