Eurazeo's Private Debt Fund Reaches Record €3.9 Billion, Surpassing Expectations

Eurazeo has closed its Eurazeo Private Debt VII fund at a record €3.9 billion, exceeding its initial €3 billion target. This substantial fundraising indicates investors' continued confidence in Eurazeo's strategy and a strong demand for European lower mid-market exposure. The total size of the 7th programme is €5.5 billion, with roughly €1 billion secured from Private Wealth and various institutional commitments.

International investors represent over 60% of the commitments, highlighting the fund's growing appeal, notably in North America and Asia. Eurazeo's pan-European Private Debt team leverages its expertise to meet this demand, aiming to deliver promising returns. The EPD VII fund is 65% deployed across more than 70 European companies, which represents investments amounting to €2.5 billion.

Private Debt assets under management now exceed €11 billion, forming 29% of Eurazeo's total assets. This underscores the strategy's importance in Eurazeo's operations, reinforcing its role in supporting lower mid-market European firms.
