Copenhagen-based credit specialist Capital Four has reached the hard cap of €3 billion for its fifth private debt vintage, Private Debt V – Senior. With this latest vintage, Capital Four now manages €8 billion across its Private Credit Platform, comprising €5.1 billion in corporate direct lending and €2.9 billion in infrastructure debt.
Capital Four’s Private Debt V fund secured commitments from a diverse group of investors across 17 countries and four continents. The fund focuses exclusively on first-lien senior secured bilateral financings for private equity-sponsored companies in the Nordics, DACH, and BENELUX regions, targeting businesses with EBITDA of €10-20 million. A significant portion of the loans in the portfolio will be sustainability-linked, ensuring compliance with EU SFDR Article 8. The Private Debt V vintage includes multiple fund structures across various FX share classes, including both a levered fund and an evergreen fund.
