Kirkland Advises Nordic Capital on Closing of €6.1 Billion Fund X

Kirkland & Ellis advised Nordic Capital, a leading European private equity investor, on the recently closed Nordic Capital Fund X. The fund was closed at its hard cap with aggregate capital commitments of €6.1 billion (including sponsor commitment). The fund will focus on buyouts in Nordic Capital’s focus sectors of healthcare, technology and payments, and financial services, as well as in industrial and business services. The fund was oversubscribed, with demand from investors significantly exceeding the hard cap, and was raised in less than six months in a completely virtual capital raising process.
