About This Fund
CVC Capital Partners Asia VI is a pan-Asian private equity fund managed by CVC Capital Partners, one of Europe's leading private equity firms with over three decades of investment experience. Launched in Q1 2022, the fund achieved its final close in February 2024 at US$6.8 billion, exceeding its US$6 billion target by more than 13% and representing a 50% step-up over its predecessor, CVC Capital Partners Asia V, which closed at US$4.5 billion in 2020. The fund is among the largest private equity vehicles focused on Asia Pacific to close since 2022, attracting strong demand from new and returning blue-chip institutional investors across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Asia VI employs a pan-regional control and co-control buyout strategy with pronounced emphasis on Southeast Asia (approximately 40-50% of the portfolio), followed by Japan (mid-20s percent allocation) and selective Greater China exposure (approximately 10%). The fund targets high-quality businesses in core consumer and services sectors, frequently partnering with founders and family business groups through minority co-control structures. CVC has maintained a continuous Asia presence since 1999, completing over 80 acquisitions across successive flagship funds, and operates through a network of local offices in Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Seoul.
Confirmed limited partners in Asia VI include the California State Teachers Retirement System (US$125 million) and Partners Group, alongside other blue-chip institutional investors from North America, Europe, and Asia. The fund's oversubscription, achieved despite a challenging global private equity fundraising environment, reflects institutional confidence in CVC's differentiated Asia platform and its track record of generating strong risk-adjusted returns from buyout investments across more than two decades of regional activity.
