AKD has advised Azzurra Capital (Azzurra), an international private equity firm, on the establishment and closing of their latest investment fund Azzurra Capital Investments SCSp, SICAV-RAIF - AZZURRA CAPITAL FUND I (ACF). ACF pursues a PE investment strategy focusing on primarily European investment opportunities in high-quality companies with tangible scope to increase in mid-term revenues, profits and value.

At final closing, ACF’ aggregate commitments were around EUR 630 million, attracting capital from professional and institutional investors based in different geographic regions. This milestone underscores the continued confidence in Azzurra’ strategy and vision.

AKD supported Azzurra’s international team throughout the entire process from the structuring and setting-up of the structure to completion of the final closing.

This project and its success reinforce Luxembourg’s position as a jurisdiction of choice for sophisticated fund managers and their investors from different parts of the world.

The AKD team was led by Jevgeniy Nesch and included further AKD members of various teams including tax, banking and finance, and corporate.
