Hauser Private Equity (HPE) operates as a hybrid private equity fund manager that co-invests directly in lower-middle and middle-market opportunities through partnerships with control buyout funds and selectively with growth equity and special situation managers. The firm seeks direct co-investments alongside funds with operational leadership and targeted value-add strategies, emphasizing North American domiciled funds and portfolio companies with established track records of collaboration and exits. Based in Cincinnati, with a presence in Los Angeles and Chicago, HPE emphasizes partnerships with funds that have a defined approach to adding value and improving portfolio company performance while avoiding venture capital, real estate, and emerging technology investments. The company positions itself within the investment management industry as a partner-driven manager that aligns with experienced, operationally focused teams that can deliver successful exits through direct co-investment structures. A recent development noted is the appointment of a new Investor Development Director, indicating ongoing expansion of its investor relations capabilities.
