Glendower has raised funds with aggregate capital commitments of $11 billion, which includes three legacy secondary funds totaling $3.0 billion in aggregate capital commitments and its first independent fund, Glendower Capital Secondary Opportunities Fund IV, which held its final close at $2.7 billion in aggregate capital commitments. Prior to raising these funds, senior team members worked together from 2003 to 2006 to restructure and wind down Deutsche Bank’s $6.0 billion proprietary balance sheet private equity portfolio.
Since January 2022, Glendower Capital is part of CVC Capital Partners having entered into a merger and strategic partnership to enhance our combined capabilities and accelerate the development of our platforms.
