Pret a Manger owner Bridgepoint Advisers is talking to investors about raising €5bn for its latest fund, people familiar with the matter have told FN's sister publication Private Equity News.

If the fund hit its target, it will be the largest pool of capital Bridgepoint has raised for its flagship vehicle, trumping a €4.8bn fund the firm raised in 2008. Bridgepoint's previous flagship fund hit its €4bn hard cap in 2015.
