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

Amsterdam, 15 February 2019. The new private equity fund of Kempen Capital Management (Kempen), the Kempen European Private Equity Fund, has raised over € 76 million in the first closing. This investment fund, which focuses on small and lower mid-market private equity buy-outs in Europe, was launched in January of 2019.

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.’
