EMK Capital has raised a 1.25 billion euro continuation fund for VDK Groep, co led by LGT Capital Partners and Coller EQT, PE Hub reported on Thursday. VDK, based in the Netherlands, is a group of technical installation and maintenance companies covering electrical and mechanical installation, climate technology, fire safety and building intelligence, and EMK has held a majority stake since 2020, backing a buy and build strategy. The continuation fund moves the asset into a new vehicle with secondaries investors rather than selling it, extending EMK’s ownership six years into the holding period.
EMK raises 1.25 billion euro continuation fund for VDK
LGT Capital Partners and Coller EQT have co led a 1.25 billion euro continuation fund for EMK Capital's VDK Groep, the Dutch technical installation and maintenance group, PE Hub reported on Thursday.
Why it matters: A continuation vehicle of this size keeps a 2020 vintage buyout in EMK's hands with fresh secondaries money rather than a sale, another case of large mid market assets being extended instead of exited at current prices.
