Kirkland Advises Inflexion on £975 Million Inflexion Enterprise Fund VI

Kirkland & Ellis advised Inflexion on the formation of Inflexion Enterprise Fund VI, which recently held its final closing at its £975 million hard cap. The fund was raised in less than five months and follows its successful £400 million predecessor fund.

Focused on the lower mid-market, the fund follows the same successful strategy employed by Inflexion for over 25 years, backing high growth, entrepreneurial businesses with ambitious management teams and working in partnership with them to accelerate growth. Enterprise Fund VI was raised almost exclusively from Inflexion’s existing investor base of blue-chip institutions from across U.S., Europe, Asia and the Middle East, with investors on average more than doubling their commitment versus the previous vintage.
