CVC Capital Partners has closed a new $10 billion fund for secondary investments, the Secondary Opportunities Fund VI. This launch comes in a context of growing interest in the alternative market.
CVC Capital Partners has presented its new fund, the Secondary Opportunities Fund VI, raising $10 billion (approximately €8.6 billion). This mega fund joins the CVC Secondary Partners division, which focuses on acquiring positions from primary investors and portfolios of assets in bulk, according to expansion.com.
The SOF VI becomes the largest instrument of the British manager in this segment, marked by notable growth. Carlo Pirzio-Biroli, managing partner of the division, stated that “raising this amount is a significant milestone for CVC Secondary Partners.”
This new fund is set against a year in which fundraising in the secondary sector has reached notably high figures, with $54.3 billion raised since January through 49 funds worldwide, according to Pitchbook data.
Despite the success of the SOF VI, the largest fund of 2026 remains the Coller International Partners IX, which closed in January with a buying potential of $12.5 billion. This indicates that the secondary investment market remains attractive, despite the sales and distribution challenges faced by funds.
The rise of the secondary market is justified by its ability to offer liquidity and diversification options, key elements for investors and managers in a complex financial environment.
