Carlyle raises over €6bn for latest European buyout fund

The fund has already made five investments in companies in Spain, Italy and the Netherlands

The rapid pace of fundraising by buyout groups showed no sign of abating on Wednesday as Carlyle closed its latest European fund at €6.4bn, more than €1bn oversubscribed.

Carlyle Europe Partners V surpassed its original target of €5bn and is 70% larger than the firm’s previous equivalent fund.
