Pollen Street Capital, a leading alternative asset manager, has announced the successful final close of Pollen Street Private Credit Fund IV, having raised £2.5 billion in total commitments — significantly surpassing its original target. The close, announced on April 9, 2026, cements the firm’s position as one of Europe’s leading specialist credit managers and reflects strong and growing investor conviction in its asset-based private credit strategy.
Fund IV attracted broad demand from a diverse global investor base, with commitments spanning blue-chip public and corporate pension plans, investment consultants, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds, leading global asset managers, private banks, foundations, and family offices. The fundraise deepened Pollen Street’s relationships with longstanding partners while also welcoming a significant cohort of new global institutions — a testament to the consistency and resilience of the platform across market cycles.
Fund IV continues Pollen Street’s established private credit strategy, centered on asset-based lending to mid-market companies across Europe. The approach provides bespoke, senior secured financing solutions to high-quality businesses, backed by diversified portfolios of tangible assets. The strategy is designed to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns through disciplined underwriting, deep sector expertise, and active portfolio management. To date, the Fund has been deploying strongly, with £1.7 billion of facility commitments across more than 30 borrowers.
