Capital A, a leading partner for ambitious SMEs seeking autonomous and acquisitive growth, has announced the successful closing of Capital A Fund V at €515 million in investor commitments. The fund was significantly oversubscribed and fully allocated in less than two months — a strong endorsement of Capital A’s strategy and track record in what remains a selective fundraising environment. The closing was announced on May 14, 2026.

A Decisive and Rapid Close

Fund V represents a 40% increase in fund size compared to its predecessor, Capital A Fund IV, which closed at €358 million in 2023. The speed of the close — fully allocated in under two months — signals exceptional institutional conviction in Capital A’s investment approach and reflects the firm’s growing recognition among both existing and new limited partners.

The fund received strong support from both existing and new institutional investors. Capital A welcomed seven new investors across Europe, the United States, and Asia Pacific, including Funds of Funds, Family Offices, Endowments, and Foundations — further broadening and diversifying its LP base with complementary perspectives from across the globe.

A Proven Track Record Since Independence

Since becoming an independent firm in 2018, Capital A has achieved a total realised return of 3.8x gross MOIC and over 40% gross IRR across 25 investments — a track record that has clearly resonated with institutional investors in a market that is increasingly rewarding experienced, differentiated managers over generalist capital allocators.

Over the past year, Capital A has continued to expand its platform with team growth across its offices in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, further strengthening its capabilities and reinforcing its position as a leading partner for ambitious SMEs pursuing both organic and acquisitive growth strategies.

LP Confidence and Partner Perspectives

Friso Janmaat, Managing Partner at Capital A, expressed deep gratitude to both long-standing and new investors for the trust they have placed in the firm. He emphasised the team’s full commitment to deploying the capital in the right way and to delivering the healthy returns that investors deserve.

Jurcell Virginia, Partner at Capital A, described the fundraise as a testament to the relationships the firm has built with its investor base over many years, and to the growing international recognition of Capital A’s proposition. He highlighted that the addition of seven new investors from across the globe brings both capital and complementary perspectives to the partnership — and expressed gratitude to all entrepreneurs and investors, new and existing, for their continued conviction in what Capital A is building.
