The new vehicle, positioned as the successor to Cinven's '1.5bn Strategic Financials Fund (SFF) launched in 2022, will build on the firm's strength in financial services while extending into adjacent tech-enabled verticals. The move reflects a broader trend across private equity as sponsors navigate ongoing dealmaking headwinds and geopolitical volatility by targeting more resilient and scalable mid-market platforms. Founded in 1977 and originally spun out of the British Coal pension fund, Cinven has raised more than '50bn to date. Its latest flagship fund closed in 2024 with $14.5bn in commitments, continuing the firm's focus on sector-driven investing across Europe and North America.
