ECM was founded in 2015 by Chris Peisch, an investment professional who has been active in the
German private equity market since 1990. ECM is organized as a Massachusetts corporation, managed by
Mr. Peisch.
ECM is a wholly owned subsidiary of, and provides advisory services to ECM Equity Capital
Management GmbH (“German Adviser”), which is principally owned by and controlled by Axel
Eichmeyer. The German Adviser is an exempt reporting adviser (“ERA”).
The German Adviser indirectly provides management and advisory services to German Equity
Partners IV GmbH & Co. KG, and German Equity Partners V GmbH & Co. KG (together, the “Funds”).
Through a sub-advisory relationship with the German Adviser, ECM also indirectly provides advisory
services to the Funds. Investors in the Funds include, but are not limited to, global investment funds,
corporate entities, family offices, high net-worth individuals and financial institutions. The advisory
services provided by ECM include advising
and investigating potential investments, advising on the merits,
risks, structure and financing of the acquisition and disposition of investments, and monitoring investments.
ECM provides investment management advice in accordance with the particular investment objectives,
restrictions, applicable law, and guidelines set forth in each Fund’s constituent documents and offering
memoranda (“Governing Documents”).
ECM does not currently participate in any wrap fee programs and does not anticipate doing so in
the future. Currently, ECM only offers its advisory services to the German Adviser and the Funds and
neither enters into nor offers investment management or advisory services to individuals or institutions that
may be investors within the Funds.
As of December 31, 2023, ECM advises approximately $455,590,885 in client assets on a non-
discretionary basis. ECM does not manage any assets on a discretionary basis, and the Firm does not
generally acquire any securities, public or private.
