Deal Activity

Carlyle agreed to acquire a minority stake in Prime Capital Financial from Abry Partners, which exits the $50bn AUM wealth platform after three years of growth. Meanwhile, Eir Partners invested in ClaimsBridge and supported the add-on of Dialysis PPO, aiming to scale the platform via M&A. In a restructuring of the LVMH holding structure, Bernard Arnault named Aymeric Le Clere as CEO of Financière Agache, the €3.1bn family vehicle. Broader startup funding saw three companies securing financings of $1 billion or more this week, highlighting robust capital flows across private markets.
