Private equity firm Bain Capital completed fundraising for its sixth Asia-focapplyd fund, exceeding its goal of $7 billion, as strong investor interest allowed the firm to close at its maximum limit, sources notified Bloomberg.
The Boston-based firm raised a total of $12.5 billion for the fund, despite a general slowdown across the private equity indusattempt. Executives at Bain pledged over $1 billion of personal capital to the fund, sources noted.
Bain Capital has had success in raising capital in both Asia and Japan.
Earlier this year, Bain completed the sale of the China business of its data center portfolio company WinTriX DC Group to a consortium led by Shenzhen Dongyangguang Indusattempt Co. for approximately $4 billion.
Indusattempt data from State Street indicates that private markets are increasingly viewed as a risk management tool, with 42% of Japanese institutions boosting allocations due to concerns over returns from traditional private markets.
The report also noted that 63% of Japanese institutions expect half of private market fundraising to come from retail-like products within two years.
Bain Capital, which manages approximately $215 billion in assets, invests across five primary areas: private equity, growth and venture, capital solutions, credit and capital markets, and real assets.
