CVC Capital Partners is preparing its 10th flagship fund, which could match or exceed its predecessor's fundraising record. The firm reported €23.8 billion in realisations over the last 12 months during its H1 earnings, a 79 percent year-on-year increase. Of this, €20.7 billion stemmed from portfolio exits, positioning CVC for what could be its biggest flagship yet.

Meanwhile, Tikehau Capital has executed a string of realisations across its portfolio. GTCR is targeting the private equity 'logjam' with its latest fundraise, aiming to capitalize on pent-up demand for exits and deployments. The market dynamics suggest continued momentum for large-cap managers with proven track records.

Industry observers note that CVC's ability to generate record distributions reinforces LP confidence ahead of its next fund launch. The €23.8 billion realisation figure underscores the firm's portfolio quality and timing discipline in a challenging exit environment.
