capiton V holds second close
Berlin-based capiton has held a second close for its fifth fund on its hard-cap of €425m.
The second close took place three weeks after the first close, which saw capiton's latest fund match its predecessor on €350m.
The vehicle will not take on any further external funding, but will hold a final close in the coming weeks when the co-investment vehicle for capiton and Global PE Allianz employees has been made available.
