In 2001, the firm completed fundraising for its first local private equity fund raising R$130 million to focus on technology investments.

In 2003, the current executive partners, Antonio Bonchristiano and Fersen Lambranho assumed the leadership of the firm as part of a natural succession plan and the following year they completed the acquisition of 100% control of GP Investments.

[1][2] The following year, in 2007, the firm raised its largest fund to date with US$1.3 billion of capital as interest in emerging markets and the BRIC countries increased dramatically.

[4][5] After raising GP Capital Partners V in 2010, with total commitments of US$1.1 billion, the company has also investments in real estate and infrastructure, beyond its original private equity focus and in addition to its direct and controlling stake in BRZ Investimentos, an asset management subsidiary.

One more transaction occurred in late June: GP Investments acquired one-third of Beleza Natural,[8] a Brazilian beauty institute chain.
