Advent has raised $30bn across its global fund complex, closing its 11th flagship buyout fund above target and launching its first dedicated mid-market vehicle. The firm says this makes it the largest buyout fund to complete its fundraising so far in 2026. Advent also gathered more than $3bn for Advent Mid-Market Private Equity, a new strategy launched in March.
The raise builds on Advent's record of returning capital to investors. So far in 2026, it has realised about $13bn across 27 businesses, making this one of its busiest years for exits. Over the same period, it has invested roughly $10bn in 38 new and existing businesses, including deals that are still pending.
