Inflexion Private Equity Partners LLP (“Inflexion”) today announces the successful final close of Inflexion Buyout Fund V (“Buyout Fund V”) and Inflexion Partnership Capital Fund II (“Partnership Capital Fund II”) (together the “Funds”), securing commitments of £1.25 billion and £1 billion respectively.
Both Funds were oversubscribed and closed at their respective hard caps within just four months of launch, after receiving strong support from existing investors and attracting new investors from the US, Europe and Asia. The investors committing to the Funds comprise leading institutional investors, including state and corporate pension plans, insurance companies and sovereign wealth funds. In keeping with previous fundraisings, Inflexion closed both Funds on schedule and without the support of a placement agent.
Inflexion will follow the same clear and consistent investment strategy it has applied across previous funds: investing up to £200 million in fast-growing, entrepreneurial businesses with strong profit margins which are led by ambitious management teams. As with their respective predecessor funds, Buyout Fund V will make majority investments whilst Partnership Capital Fund II will make minority investments. Both Funds will invest across all sectors and each investee company will have access to Inflexion’s extensive resources spanning digital enhancement, international expansion, acquisition support, and operational and commercial improvement.
As part of this double fundraise, Inflexion is proud to announce the launch of The Inflexion Foundation, which will expand and formalise its charitable giving programme. The Inflexion Foundation will receive distributions equal to 1% of the Funds’ profits.
