Calder Capital Partners is a private equity investment firm that invests in primary partnerships, co-investments and secondary transactions. Calder Capital adheres to a “resource-intensive” investment approach based on its significant experience and its relationship with Allied Capital Corporation who owns an interest in the firm.

Calder Capital is a private equity fund-of-funds focused exclusively on the small end of the private equity market. CCP is managed by a team of investment professionals with a long and successful track record, including investing approximately $3.5 billion in over a hundred private equity partnerships. Calder Capital believes the team’s diverse experience and relationships in the private equity market are significant competitive advantages in identifying and gaining access to the most attractive investment opportunities.

Calder Capital is partially-owned by Allied Capital Corporation, a leading business development company (NYSE: ALD) nationally recognized for providing equity and debt capital to private companies since 1958.
