We are excited to announce our first multi-asset continuation fund transaction, marking our first close with over $2.2 billion in commitments. The transaction was co-led and fully capitalized by HarbourVest Partners, Ardian and CPP Investments | Investissements RPC (CPP Investments). The lead investors underwrote the entirety of the raise with no required syndication. The fund includes Warburg Pincus portfolio companies that are diversified across geographies and industry sectors. This strategic transaction offered the Limited Partners optionality, either locking in strong returns and eliminating future market and business risk through this sale or rolling into the Continuation Fund to maintain asset exposure and potential future upside. Additionally, the transaction provides the portfolio companies with incremental time and capital to pursue additional valuation creation initiatives under the continued stewardship of Warburg Pincus and with ongoing relationship consistency for management teams.
