In the Netherlands, CVC reported a significant increase in its private equity investments for the year ending December 2024, tripling its new investments and doubling its investment exits. The Amsterdam-listed investment giant announced that its fee-generating assets under management surged by 50 percent, reaching €147.1 billion, which exceeded market expectations. CVC's extensive UK assets, including the Six Nations rugby tournament, the RAC roadside rescue service, PG Tips tea, and Moto motorway service stations, all contributed to this robust growth in demand for private and alternative capital. Despite this positive trend, CVC's management expressed cautiousness regarding profit realization on maturing investments, citing variable activity levels across the market. They indicated a need to navigate through possible challenges in the private equity environment, as the fluctuating dynamics could impact the timing and potential profitability of their ongoing investments. The overall resilience demonstrated by CVC's portfolio, despite the uncertain market conditions, remains a focal point for its future strategies and investor outlooks.
