The Seventh Cinven Fund, which reached its hard cap in less than four months and was oversubscribed, followed a successful €7bn fundraise in 2016.
Cinven head of investor relations Alexandra Hess said: “It is a significant milestone for Cinven to have successfully concluded another fundraise in record time.
“It is testament to our longstanding investment performance through economic cycles, the strength of the Cinven team and the longstanding relationship Cinven has with its investors.
“Importantly, the continued partnership with existing investors, coupled with the support of select new investors, demonstrates their confidence in the funds investment strategy and expertise in our defined sectors.”
