• Haidari brings many years of experience in institutional client coverage, including roles at Palladio Partners and Allianz Global Investors.

Luxembourg/Munich, 8 July 2025
Munich Private Equity Partners (MPEP), specialist for private equity fund investments in the lower mid-market buyout segment, has expanded its team with the appointment of Bellal Haidari as Director Investor Relations. In this role, he will act as a central point of contact between MPEP and its investors and contribute to further strengthening the firm’s institutional positioning. His primary focus will be on the DACH region.

Haidari has around ten years of experience in asset management and previously held various sales positions – most recently at Palladio Partners, where he was responsible for the acquisition, support and advisory of institutional clients such as insurance companies, pension funds, family offices and foundations. Prior to that, he spent five years at Allianz Global Investors in account management and investment advisory.

“With Bellal Haidari, we are gaining an accomplished sales professional with relevant experience in the Lower Mid-Market and a deep understanding of the needs of institutional investors,” says David Schäfer, Managing Director at MPEP. “His strong network and proven ability to build long-term client relationships make him a valuable addition to our team.”

“What impressed me most about MPEP is its focus and continuity – both across its fund-of-funds programs and within the team itself,” says Bellal Haidari. “I look forward to working with the team to inspire institutional investors about the opportunities in the Lower Mid-Market and to provide them with access to some of the most successful managers in this segment.”

With this strategic hire, MPEP responds to the growing demand from institutional investors for focused private equity strategies. Since its founding in 2011, the investment boutique has made more than 100 buyout fund commitments, 95% of which were significantly oversubscribed. Across its fund-of-funds programs I to V Europe and North America, MPEP’s consistently applied lower mid-market strategy has generated an average gross multiple on invested capital (MOIC) of 3.6x across 121 realized company exits. The firm’s investor base includes pension funds, insurance companies, banks, family offices and foundations from Germany and abroad.
