Permira lags behind In firepower rankings

Buyout firm which topped available capital rankings in 2008 fails to make the top five in Europe with latest close

Permira’s €2.2bn first close for its latest fund is not enough to place the firm – once one of the world’s largest – among Europe’s top five buyout firms by spending power, according to new research.

The firm is now sixth among Europe's firms with the most available capital to invest with €3.5bn, according to data from Preqin. The firm ranks behind CVC Capital Partners, BC Partners, Cinven, Apax Partners and EQT Partners.
