Arcmont Asset Management has completed the final close of Capital Solutions Fund II and associated vehicles at approximately €1.5bn, equivalent to around $1.62bn, nearly doubling the size of its predecessor vehicle.

The fundraise attracted a diversified global investor base, including pension funds, endowments, insurance companies, family offices, and sovereign wealth funds from North America, Europe, and Asia.

Launched in 2020 and co-headed by Alice Cavalier and David Brooks, the Capital Solutions strategy focuses on bespoke financing opportunities with higher return potential. The strategy targets more complex credits, junior capital structures, market dislocations, and secondary debt opportunities, complementing Arcmont’s flagship Direct Lending platform.

Since inception, the strategy has deployed nearly €2bn across more than 50 transactions. Capital Solutions Fund II is already approximately 55% committed, with over 20 investments completed. Transactions have included constructive refinancing and liquidity solutions for borrowers approaching debt maturity, complex private lending to healthy companies in cyclical sectors, junior capital investments, and secondary debt purchases.

Anthony Fobel, CEO of Arcmont, said: “The growth of the Capital Solutions strategy is evidence of the strength and depth of the Arcmont platform across European private lending.”

“Having last year launched NAV Financing and Impact Lending strategies, shortly after closing our largest ever Direct Lending fund at €10 billion, we are now well-positioned to capitalise on an increasingly complex lending environment to support the continued growth of Europe’s mid-market economy and deliver consistent returns to our loyal investor base,” Fobel added.

Over the past 15 years, Arcmont has raised approximately €40bn, equivalent to around $43bn, across Direct Lending, Senior Loan, NAV Financing, Impact Lending, and Capital Solutions strategies. The firm has committed more than €39bn across over 525 transactions and maintains relationships with more than 120 sponsors across Europe.
