Hamburg/Frankfurt am Main. The private bank Berenberg continues its success story in the corporate direct lending strategy: Over the past twelve months, Germany's oldest private bank has secured capital commitments of more than EUR 1 billion under this strategy. In this context, Berenberg has further expanded its credit fund family by launching a multi-investor fund for professional and semi-professional institutional investors, which can be invested in until mid-2026.
The recent capital commitments were largely achieved thanks to Berenberg's long-standing investor confidence:
- Extension of existing commitments: Investors chose to extend their commitments, underlining the performance and high level of confidence in strategy and management.
- Exclusive new fund mandate: a large volume, tailor-made, single investor mandate was successfully established for an institutional investor.
- Second-generation multi-investor fund: In addition to the dedicated single investor mandate, the first closing of the second multi-investor fund in this strategy was achieved in November 2024. This fund will be available to professional and semi-professional institutional investors through several planned closings until June 2026.
The strategy is supported by operational success: 30 new transactions with a total volume of over EUR 1.3 billion have been completed in the last twelve months. This has enabled a consistently high and rapid allocation of capital commitments and an attractive level of investment level for existing and new investors.
