About
Mirabel Partners is an independent institutional investment management firm with a focus on real asset investments in Northern Europe, founded in June 2020. The founders have a combined extensive experience of investment strategy, deal sourcing, transaction execution, financing, fund and asset management, and capital raising. To deliver on our promise of bringing investment opportunities across our focus geography, we combine a decentralized team approach with strong links into the local investment community in our focus markets. Our aim is to be a positive force in society, which we do by channeling investments into assets with a positive impact on society and the urban environment.
Currently, Mirabel Partners manages two specialised investment strategies: a pan-Nordic healthcare real estate strategy in cooperation with Cofinimmo, a Brussels stock exchange listed REIT; and a Helsinki Metropolitan Area focused light industrial real estate strategy in a joint venture with a US-based private equity house. Both strategies’ portfolios have grown rapidly and as at January 2025 the total assets under management exceed EUR 200 million.
We help institutional investors by finding, structuring and managing
exceptional investment opportunities across different real asset classes. We do this via:
- Opportunistic transactions
- Pooled investment vehicles for defined strategies
- Strategic investment programs within carefully researched asset class niches supported by megatrends
We take a structure-agnostic approach. This means that we tailor the choice of vehicle, the capital structure and the governance of the investments
according to the characteristics of each specific opportunity or strategy, and the needs of our clients:
- Separate account mandates
- Joint ventures and club deals
- Pooled investment products such as open or closed ended commingled funds
In each case we pay special attention to a strong alignment of interests with our clients by agreeing relevant incentives and co-investment by Mirabel.
Principles
"We have formed Mirabel Partners as entrepreneurs in order to be able to fully live by our guiding principles."
- Alignment. When our clients win, we win.
- Flexibility. With an open mind, we can overcome all obstacles.
- Integrity. We always try to do the right thing.
- Respect. We always treat everyone like we want to be treated ourselves.
- Independence. We are independent so that we can solely focus on the quality of the solutions we provide.
- Value add. We engage in projects which create tangible value.
- Long-term thinking. We prioritise long-term gains over quick wins.
- In each case we pay special attention to a strong alignment of interests with our clients by agreeing relevant incentives and co-investment by Mirabel
"We give 5% of our yearly profits to charity – now and always."
