Arcano Partners Raises €850 Million for ASF V, Its Fifth Private Equity Secondaries Fund

• Arcano Secondary Fund V has held its final close at €850 million (equivalent to one billion US dollars), surpassing its initial €500 million target and consolidating the firm’s leadership in the global private equity secondaries market

• The fund’s investor base is comprised of both institutional and private investors from various countries across Europe and the Americas

Arcano Partners has held the final close of Arcano Secondary Fund V, FCR (“ASF V” or “the fund”), securing commitments totalling €850 million and significantly surpassing its initial target of €500 million.

Launched in 2024, the fund has exceeded its fundraising target thanks to strong support from a diversified group of both existing and new institutional and individual investors from various countries across Europe and the Americas. The robust demand for ASF V underscores the appeal of investing in a proven, value-added strategy focused on secondaries, a growing market where inefficiencies and liquidity needs remain evident. This new vehicle builds on the success of its predecessor fund, which closed in 2023 with €450 million, well above its original €300 million target.
