Unquote compiles a roundup of the most notable fundraises ongoing across the Iberian market in the buyout, venture and debt segments, with the latest available intel for each vehicle.

The Iberian fundraising market has been facing complex challenges this year, due to uncertainty and volatility spread by the pandemic. Many GPs have experienced severe difficulties in strengthening and expanding their network of investors and noticed a decrease in LPs' interest, and a drop in their confidence in the stability of the local economy.

The region has recorded six final closes in 2020, collecting €1bn in aggregate capital. This represents less than half the amount raised in 2019, when local GPs collected €2.2bn across nine final closes.

Among the funds that were able to close this year were GPF Capital III and Nexxus Iberia Private Equity Fund I, which held their final closings on €300m and €170m, respectively, just before the outbreak erupted.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, 11 funds reached a first close this year, including MCH Iberian Capital Fund V, and in the venture capital space Kibo Ventures III and Nauta Tech Invest V, among others.

The below is a selection of funds currently on the road, drawing on intelligence from Unquote Data and Unquote.com.
