CVC Capital Partners has reported strong growth for the first half of 2025, with assets under management reaching €200bn and fee-paying assets up 10% year-on-year to €140bn.

Management fees rose 20% to €705m, driving a 25% increase in management fee earnings to €397m and a margin of 56%. EBITDA grew 14% to €493m, while profit after tax climbed 8% to €396m. The firm declared an interim dividend of €250m, or €0.235 per share, payable in October.

Fundraising momentum remained robust, with €6.3bn secured across strategies in the first half, including €2bn from private wealth products launched just 14 months ago. CVC expects to introduce new infrastructure and secondaries vehicles in 2026.

Deployment in the twelve months to June reached €24.9bn, up 22% year-on-year, led by growth in credit. Realisations hit a record €13.2bn, returning more capital to investors than drawn over the past three years. Realised private equity investments delivered a 3.3x gross multiple of invested capital and a 27% gross internal rate of return.

Rob Lucas, CEO of CVC, said: “We’ve shown strong performance in the first six months of the year, building on the excellent progress we’ve made since our IPO. We continue to deliver strong deployment, realisations and portfolio performance. Importantly, we see positive fundraising momentum across each of our strategies.”

CVC’s private equity portfolio delivered 10% EBITDA growth over the last twelve months, while combined private equity and infrastructure portfolios achieved 9% value creation pre-FX.
