The fund's predecessor held its final close in December 2012 on its hard-cap of €2.5bn.
In April 2014, ICG closed its Senior Debt Partners I fund on €1.7bn, comfortably surpassing its initial target of €1bn.

ICG Europe Fund VI will make non-sector specific investments including leveraged buyouts, mezzanine and refinancings for European mid-market companies.
Investors
ICG itself committed €500m to the vehicle, with the remainder coming from external investors. As with its predecessor, capital commitments to ICG Europe VI to date have come from a global investor base. The alternative lender's fifth fund received commitments from LPs including sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and insurance companies.
