PRESS RELEASE
EURAZEO’S PRIVATE DEBT FUND CLOSES AT RECORD €3.9 BILLION EXCEEDING ITS INITIAL TARGET

Paris, 2 June 2026

Eurazeo has completed the final closing of Eurazeo Private Debt VII (EPD VII), its flagship direct lending fund, at €3.9 billion, significantly exceeding its initial €3 billion target. The closing reflects LPs’ continued trust in Eurazeo’s Private Debt strategy and highlights sustained demand for exposure to the European lower mid-market.

With this fundraise, the 7th programme closes at a total size of €5.5 billion, including close to €1 billion raised from Private Wealth alongside investments and mandates from institutional commitments.

International investors account for more than 60% of commitments, confirming the fund’s growing appeal among investors, particularly in North America and Asia, seeking diversified exposure to European private debt. Eurazeo’s pan-European Private Debt team is uniquely positioned to address this demand, leveraging its longstanding expertise and disciplined strategy to deliver attractive returns.

EPD VII is already 65% deployed, with investments in more than 70 companies across Europe, totalling €2.5 billion. It builds on the predecessor fund, Eurazeo Private Debt VI, which closed at €2.3 billion in 2023.

Private Debt assets under management exceed €11 billion, representing 29% of Eurazeo’s assets under management and underscoring the central role of the strategy within Eurazeo’s broader platform.

Eric Gallerne and François Lacoste, Managing Partners, Private Debt, declared:
