A proven private equity strategy, now accessible to a broader group of investors
Anthos Fund & Asset Management is proud to announce the first closing of ABPEP Fund VII-A SCSp (the “Bregal Anthos Fund”), a private equity fund managed by Bregal Anthos. This is a strategic partnership between Bregal Private Equity Partners and Anthos Fund & Asset Management. This first close marks a significant milestone: a strategy that has been exclusively available to our founding clients for more than twenty years is now being opened to professional investors.
Investing in high-quality buy-out and growth opportunities across Europe and North America
The Bregal Anthos Fund offers exposure to a carefully constructed portfolio of:
- leading lower mid-market buy-out and growth equity managers
- select co-investment opportunities
- early secondaries designed to help shorten the J-curve
The strategy targets companies with strong fundamentals, sustainable growth prospects and resilient cash flows. Through the combination of primaries, co-investments and early secondaries, the fund benefits from wide diversification while capturing targeted value-creation opportunities.
A long history of discipline, alignment, and performance
Since 2002, the Bregal Anthos team has invested more than €7 billion across 250+ fund commitments and 50 co-investments, supported by a longstanding track record built on:
- rigorous due diligence and disciplined selection
- deep, long-term relationships with top-tier managers
- strong alignment with investors
- a long-term approach designed to navigate market cycles
“Our founding clients have entrusted us with their capital for more than two decades. Opening this strategy to a broader group of investors marks an important new phase, one built on the same values, relationships and discipline that have defined us from the start” said Jan Faber, Managing Partner at Bregal Anthos.
Why the Bregal Anthos Fund matters in today’s market
Private equity markets continue to evolve: access to high-quality managers is increasingly scarce, selectivity is more crucial than ever, and investors are seeking stable, diversified solutions. The fund addresses these dynamics by offering:
- access to hard-to-reach, best-in-class managers
- a proven strategy that has performed across market cycles
- strong diversification across sectors, geographies and investment styles
- governance and alignment designed for institutional investors
What distinguishes this fund is the combination of a multi-decade track record and a high-conviction, quality-driven investment process aimed at consistent, risk-adjusted returns.
A new chapter for Bregal Anthos and for our clients
The launch of the Bregal Anthos Fund represents an important step in expanding the reach of our private equity capabilities. The strategy combines:
- the scale and expertise of Bregal Private Equity Partners
- the values, governance and alignment of Anthos Fund & Asset Management
- the heritage of responsible ownership within the COFRA ecosystem
The Bregal Anthos Fund offers professional investors access to a long-standing, proven private equity strategy, grounded in trust, craftsmanship and long-term value creation.
With this first close, we are taking a meaningful step forward in broadening the reach of our private equity platform. We look forward to building on this momentum with both existing and new investors, and to solidifying this fund as a long-term success.
