The new fund is a sharp increase on the €6.3bn raised for its predecessor in 2022 and €1.3bn in 2020, underscoring growing investor demand for private credit strategies as banks retreat from mid-market lending. CVC Credit manages more than €48bn across liquid and private credit strategies, with €18bn in private credit.
