M&G and CVC have finalized a $1.1 billion private equity transaction where funds advised by CVC committed capital to M&G's 2025 PE Secondary Fund. The deal involves acquiring a portfolio of private equity interests in established North American mid-market buyout funds.

The agreement extends beyond the initial purchase, with provisions for future co-investments alongside the managers of these mature funds. This structure provides CVC with exposure to North American mid-market assets while offering M&G investors access to secondary market opportunities.

The transaction reflects robust activity in the private equity secondary market as investors seek diversification and liquidity. By targeting established mid-market buyout funds, both firms position themselves to benefit from the performance of these assets without the longer holding periods typical of primary fund commitments.
