\"ICG<\/p>\n

HedgeCo.Net \u2014 Intermediate Capital Group announced on September 9 that ICG Europe Fund IX (EF IX) held its final close at \u20ac12 billion, a 50% increase on predecessor ICG Europe VIII. ICG called EF IX the largest dedicated structured capital fund raised globally, citing Preqin and firm data as of September 7, 2026. The firm said prior investors committed \u20ac5.9 billion (a 77% re-up by commitment) and that about 90 new limited partners committed a further \u20ac6.7 billion. Although the raise was significantly oversubscribed, ICG said it accepted \u20ac12 billion and did not raise the hard cap. The fund is currently 22% deployed across six investments.<\/p>\n

That close completes a path ICG telegraphed in its July 15 Q1 FY27 trading update, when Europe IX stood at \u20ac11 billion as of June 30 and was described as on track for a \u20ac12 billion total fund size in Q2 FY27\u2014materially above the \u20ac10 billion target and 50% larger than the prior vintage. Alternative Credit Investor independently printed the same \u20ac11 billion \/ on-track-for-\u20ac12 billion framing from that mid-year update. European Corporate sits inside ICG\u2019s Structured Capital platform alongside European Mid-Market and Asia Pacific Corporate strategies; ICG reported $126 billion in AUM as of June 30, 2026.<\/p>\n

This is a final fund close announcement, not a portfolio-company deal. Mark \u20ac12 billion as the stated final close, the 50% step-up versus Europe VIII, the 77% re-up \/ ~90 new LPs split, and 22% deployed across six investments as company-stated tape. Do not invent deal names inside the six, a net IRR target as today\u2019s news, or LP identities. The allocator object is a scaled European structured-capital \/ flexible-capital flagship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
