Mcnally Capital

McNally Capital is a private equity firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The Firm is currently investing out of its committed buyout fund, McNally Capital Fund LP. The Firm pursues thesis-driven buyout investments in the lower middle market across two primary industries: Aerospace & Defense and Industrial Technology & Services. McNally Capital seeks to apply its hands-on experience, institutional capabilities, and proprietary value creation framework to its portfolio companies to benefit management teams in their next phase of growth and build value for McNally Capital’s investors. Ward McNally, Co-CEO & Managing Partner, founded the firm in 2008. He is a sixth-generation member of the McNally family, which proudly owned and operated Rand McNally & Company for nearly 150 years until its sale in 1997. We believe these roots provide a deep appreciation of building and scaling companies that shape industries and endure for generations. This experience drove the Firm to invest capital into founder, family, and management-led businesses in the lower middle market on behalf of investors, with the goal of preserving legacies while capitalizing on possibilities. Today, the Firm's team is dedicated to navigating transformation and growth for its portfolio companies through a rigorous, repeatable, and scalable value creation process.
