International private equity firm Cinven has held the final close of its latest flagship fund, the Eighth Cinven Fund (‘Fund 8’), at its hard cap of $14.5bn (€13.2bn), nearly 30% larger than its 2019 vintage predecessor fund.
According to Stuart McAlpine, Managing Partner of Cinven, Fund 8 will build on the firm’s previous investment approach, “investing in control positions in growth-oriented, market leading, cash generative companies with resilient characteristics where we can accelerate growth through our active management, and deliver break-out returns”.
