Inflexion, a leading European mid-market private equity firm, is pleased to announce that Enterprise Fund VI has received the Fundraise of the Year (>£750m) award at the British Private Equity Awards.
Inflexion Enterprise Fund VI ("the Fund") closed at its hard cap of £975 million. The Fund was raised in less than five months and follows its successful £400 million predecessor fund.
Focused on the lower mid-market, the Fund follows the same successful strategy employed by Inflexion for over 25 years, backing high growth, entrepreneurial businesses with ambitious management teams and working in partnership with them to accelerate growth. At the time of the Fund close, the Enterprise Funds had delivered a realised track record of 4.4x gross multiple and 42% gross IRR. This strategy has delivered highly successful exits including Automotive Transformation Group, DR&P, Goat, Lintbells, and Virgin Experience Days.
Enterprise Fund VI will typically invest in businesses valued up to £150 million, taking both majority and minority stakes across Inflexion’s core sectors of Business Services, Technology, Healthcare, Industrials, Consumer and Financial Services. All companies backed by the Fund will have full access to Inflexion’s value acceleration resources covering M&A, international expansion, digital enhancement (including data and artificial intelligence), commercial effectiveness, ESG strategy and talent management.
Enterprise Fund VI was raised almost exclusively from Inflexion’s existing investor base of blue-chip institutions from across US, Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with investors on average more than doubling their commitment versus the previous vintage.
The Enterprise Fund is a core part of Inflexion’s mid-market solution which, together with the Buyout Fund and Partnership Capital Fund, allows the firm to provide a range of bespoke funding solutions addressing the full spectrum of the European mid-market.
We are delighted to have received this award, which reflects the unwavering support of our long-standing investors. Their commitment is a validation of our ongoing focus on the lower mid-market and strong track record of backing mid-market companies to accelerate growth.
Winning the Fundraise of the Year award is a proud moment for us and a testament to the trust and support of our valued investors. Our heritage is in lower mid-market investing, where we have built a leading track record. As a founder-led firm, we understand how to work with ambitious entrepreneurs to accelerate growth, and we look forward to partnering with more of these businesses, bringing the full breadth of Inflexion’s resources to support their success.
