Advent

Advent has raised $30 billion across its global fund complex, including close to $27 billion for GPE XI and over $3 billion for our new Mid-Market Private Equity Fund. GPE XI is the largest buyout fund to complete its fundraising globally in 2026 to date, reflecting the confidence of our investors in our differentiated, pure-play private equity model. 2026 has also been one of our strongest-ever years for realizations, with approximately $13 billion returned across 27 businesses. We are proud of this milestone and grateful to our investors, both new and long-standing, for their trust and partnership. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/ebtVPyVD

We are delighted with the shareholder support for our recommended offer for InPost, alongside our partners FedEx, A&R and PPF Group. This is a clear signal of the value shareholders see in our plans for a business that has redefined e-commerce delivery across Europe. With an acceptance rate of 89.8%, we are pleased the offer has been declared unconditional. Together with the consortium and InPost's management team, including CEO & Founder Rafał Brzoska, we look forward to building the next chapter of the company's growth.

Across Japan, increasing public-to-private deals and corporate carve-outs point to a broader shift in how local companies are approaching ownership.
