Avesi Partners’ Post

Great way to start on a Monday morning! 📢 @Ardian announces $3.2 billion raised for Co-Investment Fund VI! This represents a 23% increase from our previous Co-Investment Fund and highlights our robust growth trajectory. As the private markets mature and deal sizes grow, GPs are increasingly turning to experienced co-investors to provide equity in their deals, regardless of location. That certainly applies to North America where, with the support of Ardian’s leading Secondaries and Primaries platform, our co-investment strategy has a proven track record of identifying top-quartile deals from US and Canadian GPs. This exceptional deal pipeline allows us to select high-quality assets and GPs, generating robust and stable returns for our limited partners. #CoInvestment #PrivateEquity #PrivateMarkets #Europe #NorthAmerica
