DH Private Equity completes restructuring of Fund IV

Goldman Sachs is the largest LP in the new vehicle, which has two companies remaining from the original portfolio: French concrete producer KP1 and Italian air freshener manufacturer Zobele Group.

DH originally announced Fund IV in November 2004 with a €3bn target and eventually held a final close on €1.6bn in March 2005. It was partially restructured in 2015 when HarbourVest Partners acquired interests from several LPs including Credit Suisse.

Goldman Sachs recently took part in the €2.5bn restructuring of Nordic Capital VII alongside Coller Capital, drawing capital from its vintage funds.

Many GPs are exploring these processes after landmark GP-led deals by BC Partners last year and Nordic Capital a few weeks ago; however, many are not garnering the required LP support that the DH process enjoyed, according to a source close to the deal.

Park Hill ran the restructuring process on DH's behalf.
