Kempen European Private Equity Fund raised € 76 million in the first month

Sven Smeets, Cohead of Private Markets at Kempen, stated: ‘Within a relatively short period of time, the interest expressed by clients and prospective clients in the Kempen European Private Equity Fund has resulted in this successful first closing. The next closing is expected to take place before the summer.’

Marvin de Jong, Director of Private Markets, added: ‘As far as investment opportunities are concerned, we have noticed that there is relatively little competition within the small buy-out segment, so that the entry valuations are mostly still quite attractive. In the meantime, we have reached the final phase of two direct investments, enabling us to put the capital that was raised to work effectively.’
