Advent capta US$ 27 bi para seu maior fundo global
A Advent acaba de captar seu maior fundo global, de US$ 27 bilhões – e outros US$ 3 bi para uma estratégia nova de investimentos no middle market . Os mercados prioritários são EUA e Europa, mas até US$ 6 bilhões do fundo principal podem ser direcionados para mercados emergentes, para co-investir junto com os fundos locais da gestora.
Advent recently raised its largest global fund, amounting to US$27 billion, with an additional US$3 billion earmarked for a new strategy in the middle market investments. The primary markets for these investments are the United States and Europe, but up to US$6 billion of the main fund can be directed towards emerging markets for co-investment with local funds managed by the company.
The challenge lies in finding opportunities amidst high global interest rates and stretched valuations in certain sectors. Juan Pablo Zucchini, Advent's head of private equity for Latin America, told Brazil Journal that investors are recognizing Advent's ability to capitalize on these opportunities. In Latin America, where macro and political volatility is constant, Zucchini sees potential in sectors that are also key focuses for the company globally: consumption, finance, industry, health, and technology.
He particularly emphasizes Brazil as a robust ecosystem of many family-owned companies in need of capital and internal improvements to grow. The middle market fund was created due to the growth of this market in the US and Europe, and investments will be concentrated in these two regions. Contributions range from US$100 to US$350 million in companies with valuations up to US$1.25 billion.
Currently, Advent has around US$109 billion in assets under management. The second-largest fund, worth US$25 billion, was raised in 2022. This year has seen one of the highest volumes of divestitures, amounting to around US$13 billion. Investments in new companies and those already part of the portfolio amounted to about US$10 billion.
In Brazil, Advent has invested approximately US$6.6 billion since 1997, with recent deals including a 8% stake in Natura and a Series C round for SkyOne in 2025.
