About This Fund
Oakley Capital Fund VI is the sixth flagship fund from pan-European private equity manager Oakley Capital. Launched in September 2024 and closed in March 2025, the fund raised €4.5 billion — reaching its hard cap in just six months — and marking a 58% increase over its predecessor, Fund V. This successful raise reflects strong investor demand and continued confidence in Oakley’s distinctive investment strategy. The fund focuses on acquiring founder-led, mid-market private companies across Europe. It aims to drive growth through buy-and-build strategies, operational transformation, and international expansion. With a larger pool of capital than prior funds, Fund VI offers enhanced flexibility — allowing Oakley to pursue a higher volume of transactions or commit more capital per deal. Oakley Capital Fund VI concentrates on four core sectors: Technology, Digital Consumer, Business Services, and Education. These verticals are chosen for their strong fundamentals, growth potential, and consolidation opportunities. Oakley leverages its expertise and network to support companies in scaling operations, improving margins, and executing M&A strategies. While its primary geographic focus is Europe, Oakley places particular emphasis on Iberia (Spain and Portugal), where it sees significant growth and deal origination opportunities. The fund typically targets companies with enterprise values ranging from €200 million up to €1 billion+, operating in fast-growing niches with recurring revenues and strong EBITDA margins. Oakley’s global LP base also positions it to support internationalization and cross-border expansion.
