Eurazeo has held the final closing of the EUR2.5 billion Eurazeo Capital IV investment programme, with Investment partners providing circa EUR700 million in funds, close to 40 per cent more than for the previous fund, Eurazeo Capital III.
In line with previous programmes, Eurazeo Capital IV enables Eurazeo to invest in mid-cap companies with strong growth potential both in Europe and the United States. Under this programme, Eurazeo Capital has already completed major investments in Europe (Iberchem, Albingia and DORC) as well as in the United States (Trader Interactive and Worldstrides).
This fundraising was subscribed by blue-chip international institutional investment partners – asset managers, sovereign funds and insurance companies – and leading families in North America (51 per cent), Europe (36 per cent), and Asia (13 per cent).
Marc Frappier, Managing Partner of Eurazeo Capital, says: “This success shows how attractive Eurazeo Capital investment strategy is to its long-term partners. We are proud that Eurazeo Capital’s ability to invest in the most attractive companies and the high quality of our track-record have encouraged our investment partners to subscribe to the Eurazeo Capital IV fund.”
Frans Tieleman, Managing Partner, Eurazeo Development, adds: “We’re honoured by the confidence shown once again by our investment partners. They will provide Eurazeo with access to their international networks, particularly in North America and significant additional investment capacity, both through the fund and in their wish to co-invest at our side.”
