Bregal Milestone Closes 770 Million Fund II

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bregal Milestone ("Milestone") is pleased to announce the final closing of its second fund, Bregal Milestone Fund II ("Fund II"), raising €770 million to continue partnering with founders and management teams of fast growing and profitable European technology champions. Fund II, which represents a 56% increase from its predecessor fund, secured new commitments from a diverse group of investors including asset managers, family offices, fund of funds, and pension plans, and brings Milestone's assets under management to €1.3 billion.

Milestone's Founders and Managing Partners, Cyrus Shey, Jan Bruennler and Philippe Lautenberg, said: “We are extremely grateful for the support we have received during the course of this fundraise and look forward to building long-term relationships with our valued partners.

We maintain a high degree of conviction that our pan-European approach, high intensity direct sourcing strategy, and operational focus means that we are well placed to capitalise on these opportunities through pricing discipline and relative value optimisation."
