Executive Summary

MPD Partners manages MPD SME Capital One, a private equity vehicle targeting small and medium enterprises with a focus on value creation through operational improvements and technology innovation. The fund's primary holding, La Centrale de Prévoyance, is a Swiss insurance broker that maintained revenue growth and positive cash flow during Q3 2025 despite facing operational challenges from the resignation of its main broker. The company continues partnerships with major insurers including Generali, Allianz, and Axa while working to onboard replacement brokers to maintain its FINMA authorization. The fund's second holding, Sell-Plast, remains in liquidation with the investment written off. MPD Partners is developing proprietary lead generation software using big data analytics to enhance marketing and sales outcomes for portfolio companies. The firm maintains a lean cost structure and focuses on long-term value creation through its innovative governance structure involving Class A shareholders with extensive executive experience. Current challenges include limited funding for portfolio company development and the need to secure operational continuity at LCP.
