Headway Capital Closes €627M Fund V, Emphasizes Independent Sponsors

New Fund to Propel Deal-by-Deal Investment Strategy

Headway Capital Partners has successfully closed its fifth fund, Headway Investment Partners V, with €627 million, surpassing its initial target of €500 million. This latest fundraising effort underscores Headway's strategic pivot towards focusing on independent sponsors and deal-by-deal investments, moving away from their traditional secondary investments.

The firm, renowned for its secondaries and co-investments, aims to leverage its new fund to capitalize on independent sponsor deals, which are increasingly attractive for their potential high returns and flexibility. The oversubscription of the fund reflects strong investor confidence in Headway’s refined strategy and robust track record.

This milestone aligns with Headway's goal to support bespoke transactions and tailored investment opportunities, reinforcing its position as a leading player in the private equity market.
