CVC Capital Partners Succeeds in Raising Capital

A brief story of optimism in the private equity market is that of CVC Capital Partners. The private equity firm is noted in the Wall Street Journal for its ability to raise capital while many private equity firms are struggling.

For CVC Capital Partners, finding private investors is not easy but not impossible. Despite the economic hurdles that make fundraising so difficult lately, the European-based firm managed to pull in more than $14 billion in its latest round of raising capital. The most impressive part of CVC's success in raising investments for the sizable fund, its fifth, is that all the capital was raised in less than a year--after the biggest financial troubles emerged.

After such an impressive round of fundraising, CVC Capital must now look at where to invest the capital raised. This task is exceedingly difficult for CVC, and other private equity firms due to the reluctance of banks to lend debt to finance major deals. However, CVC Chairman Michael Smith is confidant in the fund saying that it is large enough to finance big deals without the help of leverage. Other funds are not so large and are encountering considerable difficulty in the current economic climate. Mr. Smith says of the new fund "It's about investing in companies for the future and endeavoring to improve them."
