Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Melior Equity Partners?
Managing Partners Jonathan Cosgrave and Peter Garvey jointly lead the investment process. Both left Cardinal Capital Group in 2019 to establish Melior, and they remain the firm’s primary decision-makers on new platform investments and portfolio oversight.
How does Melior source deals in a small market like Ireland?
Cosgrave and Garvey draw on a decade-plus network built during their Cardinal Capital years, giving them access to founder-led Irish SMEs that larger international sponsors often overlook. The firm’s local reputation and closed-end fund structure enable proprietary sourcing through professional services and advisory relationships across Dublin, Cork and Galway.
