Credit specialist Capital Four is pleased to announce the final close of our fifth Private Debt vintage, Private Debt V – Senior, at its hard cap of €3 billion, marking a significant milestone for Capital Four’s 8bn private credit platform.
The Private Debt V fund attracted commitments from a diverse group of sophisticated investors across 17 countries and 4 continents, reflecting the global appeal and strong track record of Capital Four’s senior debt strategy. The Private Debt V vintage focuses exclusively on 1st lien senior secured bilateral financings to PE-sponsored companies located in the Nordics, DACH and BENELUX with an EBITDA of €10 – 20 million. In addition, a large part of the loans included in the portfolio will be sustainability-linked, making Private Debt V compliant with EU SFDR Art. 8. The Private Debt V vintage involves numerous funds in different FX share classes, including a levered fund and an evergreen fund.
Sandro Näf, CEO and Founding Partner at Capital Four, commented: ”We would like to sincerely thank our investors for their continued trust and confidence in Capital Four. The successful close of our Private Debt V vintage reflects the strength of our long-term relationships and the strong track record of our private debt investment strategy. Notably, 26 investors from previous vintages chose to reinvest in the PDV vintage, representing 67% of the prior vintage AuM – highlighting the strong belief in our approach and performance. At this stage, we see a very substantial deal pipeline beyond the 25 deals (44% deployed) already invested in the PDV vintage. We are fully committed to deliver best in class investment performance based on continued rigorous implementation of our proven investment process and effective sourcing from our proprietary relationship network.”
