CalPERS, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, is set to sell another multibillion-dollar portfolio, less than a year after closing a previous one. This move comes as part of the pension fund's ongoing strategy to divest and reallocate its assets [1].Meanwhile, CVC Capital Partners has disclosed the expected launch date of its next flagship buyout fund. The fund, known as CVC Catalyst, is focused on European midmarket buyouts and has a target size of $2 billion [2]. This announcement follows CVC's strong fundraising momentum in the first half of 2025, with significant progress made across various strategies, including Direct Lending, Secondaries, Infrastructure, and Private Equity [3].
CVC's CEO, Rob Lucas, commented on the strong deployment, realisations, and portfolio performance achieved despite a volatile market backdrop. He highlighted the good fundraising momentum across each strategy, driven by CVC's investment track record, the depth of its network, and the continued strong pace of realisations [3].
These developments reflect broader trends in the private equity and investment sectors. CalPERS' divestment strategy is part of a broader trend of pension funds reallocating assets to seek higher returns. Meanwhile, CVC's plans to launch a new buyout fund align with the broader trend of private equity firms targeting undervalued software firms and other growth opportunities [4].
