About This Fund
The fund is the flagship eighth buy‑out vehicle of global private equity firm Permira, raising €16.7 billion in commitments and exceeding its €15 billion target.
Permira VIII targets investing in market‑leading businesses that benefit from long‑term structural and resilient growth drivers, by partnering with outstanding entrepreneurs and management teams to scale their operations for the long term.
The strategy focuses on four core sectors of expertise — Technology, Consumer, Healthcare and Services — and uses Permira’s global network and sector‑aligned value‑creation teams to drive operational improvement, thematic growth and a values‑based investing lens (including climate, gender diversity and governance targets).
With a geographically global mandate, the fund will invest primarily in Europe and North America with selective exposure to Asia, targeting companies where technology is, or will become, a key growth component.
