About This Fund
Lexington Co-Investment Partners VI (CIP VI) is one of the largest dedicated global co-investment vehicles ever raised, closing on October 28, 2025 with $4.6 billion in committed capital — surpassing both its $4.0 billion target and its predecessor CIP V ($3.5 billion, closed 2021). Managed by Lexington Partners, a subsidiary of Franklin Templeton and one of the world's largest managers of secondary private equity and co-investment funds with over $82 billion in total capitalization, CIP VI is led by one of the industry's most experienced co-investment teams, with partners averaging 22 years of tenure at Lexington. The fund's successful oversubscription reflects broad LP demand for direct equity exposure to institutional private equity transactions across global markets.
CIP VI's investment strategy leverages Lexington's 28-year track record in co-investing, selecting best-in-class co-investment opportunities within sponsor-led transactions across North America, Europe, and select other geographies. The fund provides investors with direct equity exposure to private equity and growth equity transactions across all major industry sectors without requiring commitment to multiple primary fund vehicles. CIP VI co-invests alongside more than 200 leading private equity and growth sponsors, constructing a diversified portfolio designed to capture attractive risk-adjusted returns while managing sector and sponsor concentration risk through broad diversification.
Since the inception of the Co-Investment Partners program in 1998, Lexington has invested over $10.5 billion across 600+ co-investments, managing approximately $15 billion of cumulative committed capital across eight fund vintages. Lexington's broader transaction experience encompasses completed transactions in excess of $78 billion in total value through more than 1,100 secondary and co-investment transactions acquiring over 4,100 fund interests. The firm's deep relationships with leading sponsors, proprietary deal sourcing, and sophisticated valuation methodologies position CIP VI to deliver diversified exposure to leading PE-backed companies with strong governance and active value creation programs.
