Cove Hill sets an example of how a firm can navigate through the tumultuous first few fundraises on its way to becoming part of the “established” elite.

Declaration Partners’ deal is part of a wave of GP-led activity this year firms are using to try and generate proceeds for their investors.

The Brookfield platform, which provides flexible, structured capital solutions, has a deal pipeline that is 'stronger today than it ever has been,' managing partner Olivan told Buyouts.

Exit activity across the industry will continue to pick up over the second half of this year, says the firm’s chairman of Europe Nikos Stathopoulos.

Cove Hill has built a small but loyal group of LPs, mostly family offices, foundations and endowments, helping it to avoid the fundraising slog.

Private capital has started flowing towards climate finance, but is unevenly spread across strategies and sectors, leaving a growth equity 'missing middle,' says a new CREO report.

The fund is expected to reach its hard-cap within six months of a first close, held in May, sources told Buyouts, indicating that a final close should take place before year’s end.

The Dutch pension giant had brought a portfolio worth $2bn-$3bn to market, affiliate title Secondaries Investor reported in June.

The €255bn unit of French financial giant BNP Paribas Group wants to sell a bundle of private equity and infrastructure stakes, Secondaries Investor has learned.

Despite potential fundraising challenges, there always is capital available for great opportunities, write McGuireWoods partner Jon Finger and managing director Rob Fox.
