NKB Co-Invest IX

We are delighted to announce the successful third closing of its second dedicatedco-investment fund, securing capital commitments of c. €325 million. With this final closing, NORD has reached its hard-cap of €325m (more than doubling the size vs. the previous fund generation), attracting both institutional investors and family offices from across the globe.

"We are sincerely thankful for the continued trust and support from both our longstanding and new investors,” says Rainer Effinger, Managing Partner at NORD Holding. “Reaching the €325 million hard cap for NKB Co-Invest IX is a strong endorsement of our strategy and a direct result of the successful performance of its predecessor fund. This fundraising round also enabled us to further diversify our LP base across geographies, reflecting the broad appeal of our differentiated co-investment approach. Even amid evolving market conditions, our focus on the lower mid-market continues to uncover attractive opportunities at compelling valuations, with disciplined use of leverage. Within just 12 months of the first close, NKB Co-Invest IX has built a portfolio of 13 companies at an average entry multiple of approximately 6.5x EV/EBITDA—demonstrating both strong deal flow and a robust,well-diversified start.”
