The firm has amassed more than €450m across two if its private equity strategies.

‘We feel the full support of our investors’, says CEO Mario Fera, as the firm makes 3x its money from the fund’s first exit.

As it prepares to sever ties with its listed affiliate, the newly named Epiris, led by Alex Fortescue, is looking to raise fresh capital early next year.

The UK SME specialist is seeking to increase its 15-strong deal team as it continues to put capital to work.

The mid-market firm has attracted demand in excess of €5bn for its latest offering.

The Zurich-headquartered private equity firm is seeking slightly north of $200m for Adveq Secondaries III.

The London-based mid-market lender can underwrite and hold up to €300 million.

After closing its debut small-cap fund in March, the European firm has hit the €1.8bn hard-cap for its latest flagship fund.

The sale of the outdoor clothing and equipment retailer GO Outdoors 18 years after its initial investment will deliver around 40x for the SME specialist’s investors.

The fund will be led by Adam Koppel, who rejoined the firm this year from biotechnology company Biogen, and Jeff Schwartz, who moves over from Bain’s private equity team.
