Abris shrugs off lack of exits to hit fund limit

The Central and Eastern European-focused group has raised €450m for its second fund despite not realising any of its previous investments

Central and Eastern Europe-focused buyout firm Abris Capital Partners has raised a fund at its upper limit of €450m despite not realising any of the investments from its previous fund.

The firm, which hit a first close of €210m in October, reached the final close last month. To do so without having sold any of its investments is extremely rare as firms typically sell assets ahead of a fundraising to demonstrate their ability to make money.
