NorthWall Capital Closes Flagship European Opportunities Fund II at Over €640m

NorthWall Capital, a prominent credit investment firm in Western Europe, has successfully closed its flagship NorthWall European Opportunities Fund II and associated vehicles, raising over €640m in investor commitments, which surpassed the initial €500m target.

The fund attracted significant support from new and existing global institutional investors, doubling the size of its predecessor, NorthWall European Opportunities Fund I. NorthWall's European Opportunities strategy, established in 2017, focuses on investing in European opportunistic private credit by providing private capital solutions to counterparties in Western Europe. The firm's systematic sourcing approach and emphasis on creating bespoke funding solutions have enabled it to structure opportunities with strong downside protection and uncorrelated returns. The strategy also makes tactical allocations to areas of dislocation and has successfully participated in asset-backed opportunities.

Prior to the final closing, NWEOF II had already committed approximately 60% of its capital to 14 transactions across five countries in Western Europe. The Fund received capital commitments from a diverse group of institutional investors, including pension funds, insurance companies, institutional single and multi-family offices, and private banks from Europe, North America, and APAC.

NorthWall Capital, with €1.5bn of AUM in long-dated funds, seeks compelling risk-adjusted returns from Western European credit markets on behalf of global institutional investors.
