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.

Today we announced that we’ve agreed to sell our stake in Diot-Siaci to Ardian. Since 2021, we’ve partnered with the Diot-Siaci team to support its transformation into a leading European corporate insurance brokerage group, following the merger of Siaci Saint Honoré and Diot four years ago. Since then, the business has grown significantly in scale and geographic reach with revenues growing from EUR 700 million to EUR 1 billion. “Today we can say Diot-Siaci is a leader in the European corporate insurance broker market, which we have helped expand into the Middle East and Africa. This is another great example of our partnership with management teams in our financial and insurance services portfolio of investments, where we have a demonstrated track record of success over the last three decades.” – Iñaki Echave, Senior Managing Director & Head of EMEA Private Capital Read more: https://lnkd.in/eukcyQn8
