Global Private equity multi-manager program – Future Essentials –
collects EUR 208 million in commitments
Zug, Switzerland – January 15, 2019 -- Capital Dynamics, an independent global private asset management firm, has held a final close of Capital Dynamics Future Essentials LP (“Future Essentials” or “the Fund”) with EUR 208 million in commitments. This first-time fund surpassed its initial target size of EUR 200 million.
Capital Dynamics developed this global private equity multi-manager program to meet the specific investment appetite, and portfolio, regulatory and tax requirements of German-speaking investors in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Liechtenstein (DACH region).
Future Essentials targets private equity managers across Europe, North America and Asia that demonstrate a proven track record of operational value creation through strategic development of portfolio companies and robust sales growth. In addition, selected managers should have a strong focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles that enhance operational value. The Fund invests in high-quality and access restricted private equity primary funds, specifically mid-market buyout and growth capital funds, with additional allocation to co-investment funds and secondaries transactions.
Swiss-headquartered Capital Dynamics is supported by a global platform, with offices in Munich and Zug to service investors in the DACH region. The Fund has more than 30 investors – both new and existing clients – including pension funds, insurance companies, banks, and multi-family offices.
“We greatly appreciate the strong investor support in this debut fund, focused on operational value creation underpinned by responsible investment principles. Capital Dynamics looks forward to continuing to develop strategic and tailored solutions that directly address our clients’ needs,” said Martin Hahn, Chief Executive Officer of Capital Dynamics.
Future Essentials’ approach to operational value creation, supported by specified ESG considerations, is a significant differentiator within the private equity market. The Fund has already made substantial commitments, and benefits from Capital Dynamics’ sourcing and execution capabilities developed through the Firm’s more than two decades of experience and over 350 general manager relationships it maintains.
