Amsterdam-listed CVC previously looked at HPS Investment Partners and Fortress Investment Group
Amsterdam-listed CVC Capital Partners is appraising the acquisition of US private credit firm Golub Capital for gaining exposure to the North American direct lending sector, Financial Times reported. Golub Capital has aum of above 75 billion US Dollars and since 2004 it provided mid and big caps with facilities worth more than 150 billion.
Lawrence Golub founded Golub Capital in 1994. In September 2024, the firm sold a below 5% stake to Mizuho Bank, a subsidiary of Mizuho Financial Group that is distributing Golub products to its high-net-worth and retail clients (press release).
CVC allocated 45 billion euros of its global 200 billion resources for credit strategies. The fund reportedly held talks for acquiring Fortress Investment Group and HPS Investment Partners, an asset that BlackRock acquired (press release), while Fortress still belongs to Mubadala and SoftBank.
In March 2025, Bloomberg quoted CVC Capital Partners ceo Rob Lucas as saying that US private credit and insurance sectors are fields with great opportunities.
