OSP VI pursues a relative value strategy across GP-led and LP-led transactions in North America and Western Europe, targeting investment opportunities in the private equity mid-market.

Building on a first close in 2024, the programme secured substantial re-ups from long-standing partners — including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, insurance companies, family offices, and foundations from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the US — alongside commitments from new, highly-regarded institutional investors.

“The close of OSP VI comes amid increased demand for mid-market private equity secondary strategies,” said Dr. Stephan Wessel, CEO of MCP. “We continue to observe steady deal flow across GP-led and LP-led opportunities, enabling us to deploy over 50% of our new fund already. Additionally, we have syndicated a significant number of transactions to our co-investors.”

Successfully executed investments include a diversified portfolio acquired through a private transaction in partnership with a leading Chinese insurance company and MCP’s 2025 landmark transaction with Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI), through which MCP acquired a portfolio of mid-market inflection buyout assets on behalf of OSP VI and select MCP co-investors. The current seed portfolio blends diversified LP-led transactions with high-conviction GP-led opportunities across North America and Western Europe.

“OSP VI builds on over a decade of secondaries experience, allowing us to systematically identify relative value in mid-market private equity investments," Stephan Wessel added. “We have developed a scaled platform that integrates market access across our secondary and primary businesses with PGIM’s global footprint. Combined with our rigorous, data-driven investment process, this positions us well to pursue compelling investment opportunities in the secondary market.”

OSP VI is the first fund closed after the acquisition of MCP by PGIM in 2021. MCP now manages a platform of more than US$5billion 1 with a team of more than 45 professionals across Switzerland and the US and has deployed more than US$5billion across secondary investments to date.

“OSP VI builds on over a decade of secondaries experience, allowing us to systematically identify relative value in mid-market private equity investments.” — Dr. Stephan Wessel, CEO, Montana Capital Partners

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — A shooting at a school in remote northern British Columbia left seven people dead, while two more were found dead at a nearby home, Canadian authorities said Tuesday. A woman believed by police to be the shooter was also found dead, apparently from a self-inflicted wound.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said more than 25 people were wounded, including two who were airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries, after the shooting at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.

School shootings are rare in Canada, which has strict gun control laws.

The town of Tumbler Ridge in the Canadian Rockies is more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) northeast of Vancouver, near the provincial border with Alberta. The provincial government website lists Tumbler Ridge Secondary School as having 175 students from Grades 7 to 12.

British Columbia Premier David Eby told reporters that police officers reached the school within two minutes.

A video showed students walking out of the school with their hands raised as police vehicles surrounded the building and a helicopter circled overhead.

Police found six people dead, a statement said. A seventh person died while being transported to a hospital, and two more were found dead at a residence the authorities believe was connected to the attack. A suspect appeared to have died of a “self-inflicted injury.”

RCMP Superintendent Ken Floyd told reporters that investigators had identified a female suspect but would not release a name, and that the shooter's motive remained unclear. He added that police are still investigating the connection between the shooter and the victims.

Tumbler Ridge Mayor Darryl Krakowka said the whole community is grieving.

“I broke down,” he said, saying it was “devastating” to learn how many had died in the community of 2,700, which he called a “big family.”

“I have lived here for 18 years,” Krakowka said. “I probably know every one of the victims.”

The Rev. George Rowe of the Tumbler Ridge Fellowship Baptist Church went to the recreation center where the victims' families were awaiting more information.

“It was not a pretty sight. Families are still waiting to hear if it’s their child that’s deceased and because of protocol and procedure, the investigating team is very careful in releasing names,” Rowe said. “The big thing tonight was my having to walk away and the families still waiting to find out. It is so difficult. Other pastors and counselors are there, so they are not alone.”

Rowe once taught at the high school and his three children graduated from there.

“To walk through the corridors of that school will never be the same again,” he said.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a social media post that he was devastated by the shooting.

“I join Canadians in grieving with those whose lives have been changed irreversibly today, and in gratitude for the courage and selflessness of the first responders who risked their lives to protect their fellow citizens,” he wrote.

Carney’s office said he is suspending a planned trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Munich, Germany. He was set to announce a long-awaited defense industrial strategy in Halifax on Wednesday before heading to Europe for the Munich Security Conference.

Eby, the province's premier, told reporters he had spoken to Carney after what he called the “unimaginable tragedy.”

“I know it’s causing us all to hug our kids a little bit tighter tonight,” he said. “I’m asking the people of British Columbia to look after the people of Tumbler Ridge tonight.”

Canada’s government has responded to previous mass shootings with gun control measures, including a recently broadened ban on all guns it considers assault weapons.

Tuesday's shootings were Canada's deadliest rampage since 2020, when a gunman in Nova Scotia killed 13 people and set fires that left another nine dead.
