We are pleased to announce the single close of AURELIUS Opportunities Fund V (“Fund V”) at €830 million, following a significantly oversubscribed process completed in less than five months. Despite a challenging fundraising environment, Fund V received strong support from existing investors and a number of new global institutional LPs – specifically blue chip endowments and healthcare foundations from the US, UK, Europe, and Asia. Backed by this strong base of returning LPs and new institutional investors, the Fund will enable the team to continue its strategy of investing in mid-market carve-outs, platform build-ups, and complex buyouts across Europe and North America.

With operational excellence being the pillar of the AURELIUS strategy, the Fund was capped at €830m to enable AURELIUS to maintain its investment discipline and preserve the exceptional top-decile performance record, built over the last 20 years.

Fund V will continue AURELIUS’ successful strategy of investing in mid-market companies across Europe and North America, with a focus on corporate carve-outs, platform build-ups, and complex buyouts. The fund will target businesses with annual revenues of at least €100 million.
