Article abstract:
French investment fund PAI Partners has announced that it has raised a record 7 billion euros for its new investment fund, exceeding its initial target of 6 billion euros. The new fund, called PAI Mid-Market Fund, will be dedicated to investing in medium-sized companies in Europe, with an entry ticket of between €200 and €500 million.
According to PAI Partners, this record-breaking round testifies to investors' confidence in the fund's investment strategy and in the growth potential of medium-sized companies in Europe. The fund has already made a number of investments in European companies, including the Elior catering group, toy manufacturer Asmodee, and business services group Atalian.
PAI Partners is a French private equity fund founded in 1972. The fund currently manages over €15 billion in assets, and has made over 70 investments in European companies in recent years. PAI Partners is known for its long-term investment strategy, which aims to support companies in their development and growth over the long term.
PAI Partners' record-breaking fundraising comes against a backdrop of strong growth in the European private equity market, which has reached a record €85 billion in 2021, according to data from the Invest Europe association. This growth is being driven in particular by the post-pandemic economic recovery and the search for high returns by institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds.
In conclusion, PAI Partners' record fundraising of 7 billion euros for its new investment fund dedicated to medium-sized companies in Europe testifies to investors' confidence in the fund's investment strategy and in the growth potential of these companies. This fundraising comes against a backdrop of strong growth in the European private equity market, driven by the economic recovery and institutional investors' search for high returns.
