Europe’s private credit sector is experiencing a major boost as two leading funds recently closed significant capital raises to support mid-market businesses across the region.
Kartesia, a London-based private credit investor, has finalized its Kartesia Credit Opportunities VI fund at €1.3 billion. The fund will offer flexible capital—including senior secured and subordinated debt, unitranche financing, and structured equity—to businesses underserved by traditional lenders. Kartesia’s strategy centers on forging long-term partnerships to help firms navigate growth, acquisitions, and refinancing.
Meanwhile, MML Capital Partners has wrapped up Partnership Capital VIII, closing at €1.0 billion—a 50% increase over its predecessor. Oversubscribed and supported by sovereign wealth funds, pension schemes, insurance companies, and family offices, the fund will back owner-managed mid-market companies in Europe and the U.S. MML has already deployed over €500 million across ten new platforms in the past year and maintains strong sourcing power via its offices in London, Dublin, New York, and Paris.
Together, these capital commitments highlight the strength and resilience of Europe’s mid-market segment. With €2.3 billion newly available, businesses now have more options than ever to access tailored financing solutions outside traditional banking channels, whether for growth initiatives or strategic restructuring.
