Private Equity Fundraising & Strategy

Inflexion Private Equity successfully secured oversubscribed demand for its latest fund, tapping wealth capital for the first time to raise €4.5 billion, according to reports from PE International, as the mid-market firm strategically broadened its institutional base. Meanwhile, Brookfield Asset Management emphasized the importance of proactive engagement, noting that getting out to strategic buyers early and educating them over three- to five-year periods is key to achieving successful exits from portfolio companies, such as its backing of a German battery storage business. In technology venture capital, BlackRock-managed funds participated in a €50 million, or $57 million, funding round for quantum computing firm IQM, positioning themselves ahead of the company’s anticipated $1.8 billion initial public offering.
