Advent raises $30 billion across its global fund complex

GPE XI, Advent’s 11th flagship fund, has raised close to $27 billion, making it the largest buyout fund to complete its fundraising in 2026 to date. Our new Mid-Market Fund has closed over $3 billion in commitments.

Global reach. Local insight. Differentiated opportunities.

Together, GPE XI and the Mid-Market Fund draw on Advent’s global reach, local teams and deep sector expertise, while applying a sector-led, operationally intensive approach to companies of different scales.
